"Boss, how long will the chestnuts be out of the pot?" "It's fast, wait a few minutes." If winter is described in terms of a food, chestnuts can certainly "have names." On the morning of November 10, the reporter came to Taohualun West Road in Heshan District, walking on the street, and the aroma of sugar fried chestnuts wafted in the air from time to time. The reporter found that the hot sugar fried chestnuts on the roadside could be seen everywhere, and many stalls also lined up in front of the small queue.

At the door of a dried fruit shop, the reporter saw a large iron pot supported, cocked up a short chimney, the pot contained black "iron sand", a small guy with a shovel from time to time stir-fried chestnuts wrapped in "iron sand". The chimney is steaming hot, accompanied by the sound of stir-frying chestnuts, and the unique sweet aroma of sugar-fried chestnuts floats from the pot to the street, making passers-by who are hungry follow. Another newly opened fried goods store, but also launched the "chestnut buy 10 yuan plus 1 yuan and then send 10 yuan" activity, queued up to wait for the passers-by wave after wave, the clerk poured a basket of freshly fried chestnuts into the bamboo basket, and quickly opened the sack to pour raw chestnuts into the iron pot. Cashiers are busy weighing customers while picking out poor quality chestnuts.

A shop staff told reporters that although chestnuts look the same, they taste very different. Chestnuts of different qualities have different sugar content and different waxiness. Small chestnuts with light color, fluff, a less glossy shell, round and flat sides tend to be sweeter and tastier. "Buy a little more when there is an activity, my parents and I both like to eat this one, it is easy to peel off, the taste is good." Ms. Wu, who had just lined up to buy five pounds of fried chestnuts, said.

In addition to sugar-fried chestnuts, chestnuts have many other ways to eat, chestnut rice, chestnut chicken, chestnut noodle pancakes... Although the protein and rich vitamin C contained in sugar-fried chestnuts are of great benefit to children and the elderly, they should not be consumed in excess. Eating too much raw is not suitable for digestion, and eating too much cooked is easy to stagnate, especially people with poor gastrointestinal function and digestive system diseases should not eat more. In addition, chestnuts are high in sugar, diabetics also try not to eat, if you must eat, do not remember to taste.
