How to grow a chestnut tree from seed - Καστανιά από σπόρο

One of the best winter fruits. Chestnut, raw or roasted, is a complete food, ideal for children in development, for those recovering from various diseases, as well as for athletes. Chestnuts belong to the nuts, although their nutritional composition is more reminiscent of starchy foods, as they have a significantly lower content of fatty acids. Chestnuts are an excellent source of carbohydrates, thus providing the necessary energy for our body. They also contain high-quality proteins. Another thing that sets chestnuts apart from other nuts is their high content of vitamin C. 100 grams of chestnuts contain 72% of the daily recommended amount of vitamin C! Vitamin C is not only essential for the proper formation of blood vessels and bones, but it is a powerful antioxidant, and protects our body from harmful free radicals. In addition to a significant amount of vitamin C, chestnuts provide other antioxidants, such as vitamin E and some phytochemicals that belong to the broader category of polyphenols.
