Chestnuts
are one of my all times favorites. Growing up in an Italian family we used to roast them for Thanksgiving and Christmas. I did not like them as a kid but now have grown to love them especially after finding out that they pack such nutrition and are low in calories for the nut family (no pun intended)! For instance, in 2 1/2 chestnuts, there are only 60 calories, 1 gram of protein, 1 gram of fat, and they are loaded with vitamin C.
