Chestnut is a delicious, nutritious nut that is being sold in large quantities this season. It not only tastes sweet, but is also known as one of China's "five famous fruits". In fried shops, people rush to buy chestnuts, and its eating methods are also very diverse, you can eat it stir-fried, or it can be made into sugar-fried chestnuts, chestnut chicken, etc. Chestnut is not only rich in taste, but also high in nutritional value, rich in protein, fat, carbohydrates and vitamin B and other nutrients, which help to enhance immunity, regulate endocrine and other functions. For people who want to lose weight, moderate consumption of chestnut can also moisturize the intestines and laxative, which can help reduce weight. While enjoying the deliciousness, we should also pay attention to the reasonable combination of diet and pay attention to our health. When choosing chestnuts, there are a few tips that can help us choose the best quality. First, we can choose chestnuts with a rounder shape. Chestnuts come in many shapes, but if we want a better taste, we should choose a chestnut that is particularly round without edges or a chestnut that is flat on one side and round on the other. This is because during the growth of chestnuts, only long enough exposure to sunlight can accumulate higher sugars, making chestnuts more sweet and delicious.
Flat chestnuts generally grow between round chestnuts, and the time to receive sunlight is shorter, and the taste is naturally not as sweet as round chestnuts. Therefore, when we choose chestnuts, we should choose chestnuts with a more ideal shape in order to enjoy a more delicious taste. Secondly, we can pick chestnuts that are hard or shaken without sound. The peel of the chestnut has a firm texture, which indicates the fullness of the flesh inside. Conversely, if the peel tends to dent when touched, it may be due to the shriveled kernel inside, which may have been stored for some time. In addition, shaking the chestnut, if you can hear abnormal noise, this also indicates that the kernel may have dried up, its quality and taste are not good. Therefore, we should choose hard chestnuts, not soft or abnormal sounds. Finally, we can choose chestnuts with a not bright surface and rich in fluff. The surface of the chestnut should not be bright and covered with fluff. If the surface of the chestnut is bright, it may be waxy, and the quality of such chestnut may not be good enough. And chestnut with rich fluff indicates that it is fresh. In conclusion, when choosing a chestnut, we can judge its quality based on its shape, hardness and surface characteristics.
Choosing chestnuts with a rounder shape, hard or shaky chestnuts without sound, and chestnuts with a less shiny surface and rich fluff can help us choose the best quality. In this way, while enjoying the deliciousness, you can also ensure the freshness and good taste of the ingredients. I hope everyone can pay attention to these tips when buying chestnuts and enjoy better food. Finally, I want to emphasize that although chestnuts are nutritious, we should also eat them in moderation and with a reasonable diet. Especially for people who want to lose weight, although chestnut can moisturize the intestines and laxative, it cannot be consumed in excess, so as not to lead to excessive calorie intake. At the same time, we should also pay attention to the cooking method of chestnuts, try to choose healthy cooking methods such as stir-frying, boiling, and stewing, and reduce the intake of fat. Only under the premise of taking into account food and health can we truly enjoy the deliciousness and nutrition brought by chestnuts. Do you have any tips when choosing chestnuts?

As a delicious nut, chestnut is much loved.
But for some, picking fresh chestnuts, as well as peeling and storing, is a difficult task. Today, we share some tips to help you better handle chestnuts. First, let's talk about how to judge the freshness of chestnuts by fur. The peel of the chestnut is covered with a layer of hair, and the distribution of the fur reflects the freshness of the chestnut. Specifically, if the chestnut has more hairs at the bottom, the fresher the fruit. Conversely, if the chestnut tail is smooth, the peel is less hairy and shiny, then this is most likely a chestnut that has been stored for a while. Therefore, by observing the distribution of the fur of chestnuts, we can roughly judge its freshness. Secondly, let's talk about the tips of chestnut peeling. Although chestnuts are delicious, peeling them is a bit difficult. At this time, the raw chestnut purchased should be washed, first soaked in 40~50 °C water for about 20 minutes, and then put in the refrigerator to freeze. After this series of operations, the inner and outer peels of the chestnut are easy to peel. This is actually the principle of thermal expansion and contraction. Finally, let's talk about how to store chestnuts.
Fresh chestnut is not easy to store, it is easy to germinate and deteriorate when it is wet, and it is easy to dry up the pulp and shriveled insects, so how to preserve it? Many friends will put it directly in the refrigerator, in fact, the correct way is to put the chestnut bought back in a sunny place to dry, and then seal it in the refrigerator for storage, so that it can be stored longer. Through the above tips, I believe that everyone will be more handy when dealing with chestnuts. However, while enjoying delicious food, we must also pay attention to food safety, choose fresh ingredients, and do a good job of food hygiene. Finally, do you have any other chestnut tips?
