- Chestnuts -
(Chestnuts) The chestnut tree is related to the Beech tree and is a native of the Northeastern United States. The commercial growing of chestnuts in the United States was wiped out by a blight in the early 1900's. Today, most of the commercially available chestnuts seem to be imported from Italy. The fruit of the chestnut tree is prickly and contains two or three chestnuts; the outermost ones are rounded to the outside of the cluster and flattened to the inside. Chestnuts that are flat on both sides are the inner nut of a "three cluster". We have found that store purchased chestnuts are extremely prone to fungus (mold), especially later in the season. See nutritional chart below.

The above recipe is in keeping with God's creation intent (Genesis 1:29-31): 'Then God said, "I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food. And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds of the air and all the creatures that move on the ground-- everything that has the breath of life in it-- I give every green plant for food." And it was so. God saw all that he had made, and it was very good.' (NIV) Let no animal suffer or die that we may live! (d-9)
