  Highland chestnuts

  Highland chestnuts are extra-large oil chestnuts with a distinctly glossy shell, beautiful color, and abundant nutrients (approximately 50% starch, 9%-12% protein, and 3-4% fat). They are adaptable and highly fruitful (starting to bear fruit 1-2 years after planting, reaching full production in 4-6 years), yielding up to 20 kilograms per plant. The annual production of highland chestnuts is 10,000 kilograms, planted over an area of 9,000 square meters with more than 6,000 plants. Highland chestnuts can be eaten raw, roasted, or stewed after shelling and removing the outer skin. They are highly nutritious and beneficial for skin care and complexion.
