The bulk of calories in chestnuts come from carbohydrates instead of fat.
These nuts are also cholesterol-free, low in sodium and quite a good source of dietary fibre, which makes them a good choice for slimmers and people with heart problems. These nuts contain small, but significant amounts of niacin and folate which support cardiovascular health helping to balance levels of a harmful compound called homocysteine as well as cholesterol. |
