Autumn is getting stronger, and it is time for chestnuts to mature again. Walking on the road, you can smell the fragrance of sugar-fried chestnuts everywhere.

Chestnut flesh is golden and tastes sweet. It is a specialty of our country. It nourishes the stomach and strengthens the spleen, strengthens the kidney and strengthens the muscles. It is a good food therapy item.

There are many ways to eat chestnuts. In the south, dishes made with chestnuts are delicacies at banquets. Roast chicken with chestnuts and stewed pig's trotters with chestnuts are household names. In the north, sugar-fried chestnuts are delicious, and their fragrance spreads across the country.
