Chestnut The term chestnut ( Castanea sativa
Mill.) is used to intend all the edible fruits of a tree
that belongs to the Fagaceae family. Indigenous to Asia
Minor, the chestnut spread over the millennia to occupy
a range from the Caucasus Mountains to Portugal. For a
long, long time, the chestnut was considered a vital
provider of fl our and bread. The chestnut’s high
Vitamin B content has a calming effect on the nervous
system. |
