Chestnuts are the edible nuts produced by chestnut trees, which grow across Europe and Asia. The nuts develop inside spiky husks and have a distinctive sweet flavour. Chestnuts are commonly roasted, particularly during autumn and winter months, and can be used in savoury dishes, desserts and stuffings. They contain less fat than other tree nuts and have been cultivated for thousands of years. Chestnut wood is also valued for its durability and has been used in furniture and construction.
