The sweet chestnut (Castanea sativa) is unlike most other hard-shelled nuts. Nutritionally, it’s more like a grain than a nut. It’s very low in fat (4-5%, vs 62% for the hazelnut, and 71% for the pecan), and high in carbohydrates (78%, close to wheat). It’s also cholesterol-free, gluten-free, low in sodium, and a good source of vitamins C, B1, B2 and folates.
