Wanggang Water Chestnuts

Wanggang Water Chestnuts

　　   Wanggang water chestnuts are primarily grown in Wangzuogang, Xinghuang Management District, Siqian Town, with a planting history of over a hundred years. They are planted before the “Start of Autumn” solar term and harvested after the “Start of Winter,” yielding an average of 1,500 kilograms per mu.

    Wanggang water chestnuts are large in size (about 20 grams each), with sweet, refreshing flesh, thin skin, and no residue. They help quench thirst and clear summer heat. They can be eaten raw or cooked, and are also a key ingredient in the famous refreshing drink "Chestnut Refresh." Locals often grind them into powder to make soups for clearing heat and detoxifying.
