Xinfeng Water Chestnuts

Xinfeng Water Chestnuts

　　Water chestnuts, commonly known as horse chestnuts, are thin-skinned, juicy, sweet, and fiber-free. Xinfeng water chestnuts can be eaten raw or cooked, and can also be processed into canned goods.

　　 They thrive in well-lit, well-drained, moderately fertile paddy fields. Seedlings are raised in early July, transplanted in late July, and harvested starting in December. The county's planting area exceeds 2,000 acres, with an annual output of over 8 million jin. In addition to local sales, large quantities are exported to Guangdong, Fujian, Shanghai, Nanchang, and other regions. The canned water chestnuts produced here are especially crisp and delicious.
