About Chestnuts
The chestnut tree is related to the Beech tree and is a native of the Northeastern United States. The commercial growing of chestnuts in the United States was wiped out by a blight in the early 1900’s. Today, most of the commercially available chestnuts seem to be imported from Italy. The fruit of the chestnut tree is prickly and contains two or three chestnuts; the outermost ones are rounded to the outside of the cluster and flattened to the inside. Chestnuts that are flat on both sides are the inner nut of a “three cluster”. We have found that store purchased chestnuts are extremely prone to fungus (mold), especially later in the season. See nutritional chart below.
