A few days ago, I read a report about stir-fried chestnuts with sugar. After reading it, I was really scared. It was said that most chestnuts were specially treated. For example, soak raw chestnuts with saccharin, dry and wax, and then stir fry. After some soaking and boiling, the chestnuts will burst open, so these chestnuts are full in color, easy to peel, and large in size, but their nutritional value is very low.
When the chestnut is opened, it inhales excessive amounts of sweeteners and paraffin, which is very harmful to the body. Even if no sweetener is added, the sand and sugar in the pan will react at high temperatures to form caramel. This caramel contains certain harmful ingredients that are not suitable for consumption, but the chestnut is stained with this caramel. If vendors sell chestnuts that are fried after adding wax, the harm to the human body will be even greater, and it will seriously lead to lesions in brain nerves, liver and other organs.
After reading these, I didn't dare to buy sugar-fried chestnuts anymore, and I also advise everyone to eat less. We can DIY chestnuts at home, which is simple to make, healthy and safe.

Tips for selecting chestnuts: First of all, look at the color of the chestnuts. If it looks greasy or even shiny, it must not be new chestnuts. The surface seems to be covered with a thin layer of powder and is not very shiny. The color should be based on the color of the coffee mixed with milk. The tail of chestnuts has a lot of fluff. The tail of new chestnuts has more fluff and there are no insect holes on the surface. We can also distinguish the taste according to the different shapes of chestnuts. If the two sides are flat, the taste will not be too sweet if the shape is very symmetrical. While one side is flat and the other side is round, it must be chestnuts with high sugar content.
