Chestnuts are good and bad

Chestnut is a very beautiful blossomed tree, the inflorescences of which in the early spring adorn alleys of city parks and squares. In autumn this tree has round fruits. There are two types of chestnut. One of them produces edible fruits, the second one, called horse chestnut, is inedible, but contains many substances useful to the human body.

When applied to food, the benefits of chestnut are explained by a unique combination of tannins, proteins and fats. Chestnut is rich in starch, due to which it is a natural "energy bar". Of particular value is a thin transparent chestnut film, which is the source of insoluble fiber . Because of the sweetish taste of the fruit, it can be added to the coarse flour, seasoned with oatmeal or wheat porridge. This applies only to edible chestnut.

Do not eat chestnuts to people with liver, kidney, heart and GI. There are also those who suffer from allergy to the chestnut, but often they simply "confuse" the edible chestnut with horse, the use of which can provoke poisoning. You should avoid overeating the edible chestnut, as this can lead to constipation and bloating.

This is the benefit and harm chestnuts carry in themselves for our health, if we use them wisely.
