Red Robe Water Chestnuts

　　　　Water chestnuts belong to the Cyperaceae family and are herbaceous aquatic crops rich in nutrients. They are a versatile food that can be used as both a fruit and a vegetable, suitable for eating raw or cooked, and are also an export commodity generating foreign exchange for China. Water chestnuts are also known as earth chestnuts or horse hooves. The fruit is round and neat in shape, retaining its sweet flavor even when boiled plainly, and offers a fragrant taste when canned, making them highly popular among consumers both domestically and internationally.

　　The entire growth cycle of water chestnuts is 130 days, with a yield of 2,000 kilograms per mu, and they are available from December to March of the following year.
