Description

Himalayan chestnuts grow on the Castanea sativa tree and are found across the Himalayan region. Larger and naturally sweeter than European varieties, they are locally known as “Pahadi Singara.” Rich in Vitamin C, fiber, and potassium, these chestnuts are a nutritious, high-energy snack. Their mildly sweet flavor and soft texture make them versatile to be enjoyed roasted, boiled, or added to both sweet and savory dishes.

Roasted chestnuts are soft, warm, and lightly sweet, and can be enjoyed with a little sprinkle of Himalayan pink salt.

Chestnuts can be turned into a smooth, creamy soup without the need for cream.

In traditional mountain cooking, chestnuts are often used to bulk up meals as a stuffing ingredient. You can mash boiled chestnuts and mix them with herbs, spices, and vegetables to stuff peppers, squashes, or breads.

Chestnuts can also be used to make chutneys or dips.

Sweetened chestnut puree is a versatile ingredient for desserts.
