Chestnuts are edible and inedible how to distinguish
Edible chestnut and horse chestnut are completely different trees, despite the similarity in the name. The first belongs to the beech family, and the second belongs to the sapindaceae. Outwardly, the trees are not at all similar, so it is not difficult to distinguish them.
Edible species
It will be useful for everyone to know what chestnuts can be eaten. There are several types of food:
- Gorodchaty (Japanese). The largest-fruited variety. Grows up to 15 meters. Nuts up to 6 cm in diameter and up to 80 gr. in the mass.
- Sowing. Reaches 35 meters. Prefers a humid and warm subtropical climate. Propagated by seeds. It features a powerful root system that holds the crown well.
- American (notched). Frost-resistant variety, easily tolerates prolonged cold weather down to -30⁰С.
- Chinese (softest). The fruits are distinguished by excellent taste and are widely consumed in food. Wood is in demand in industrial production. The plant is afraid of drought, requires frequent watering.
- Stunted. A tree up to 15 meters high. Refers to decorative forms.
- Australian. An evergreen tree reaching a height of 15-30 meters.
- Shogyu. Resistant to pathogenic fungi affecting chestnuts.
- Henry. Distributed in the western and central regions of China. Reaches a height of 25-30 meters.
At the time of ripening, the maximum amount of nutrients is concentrated in the fruits of the edible chestnut. Once the chestnuts are completely brown, they are harvested and harvested for the winter. They are eaten ready-made and raw.
