There is no doubt that we are faced with a tremendously characteristic food of this wonderful season of the year, consisting of the chestnut fruit, a tree belonging to the family of the fagaceae, and native temperate climates of the northern hemisphere.
It becomes an ideal food at this time of year, because thanks to its nutritional wealth contributes to our organism all those essential nutrients that we need so much during this season, and that help us to reduce or prevent the well-known autumnal asthenia.

In this sense, who does not remember the walks in the countryside with our parents and / or with our family, in the search of the delicious chestnuts during the autumnal days ?. It is a typical picture, and without a doubt many remember with nostalgia and melancholy.
