| The chestnut, the fruit of the chestnut tree (Castanea sativa), is an edible nut with a rounded shape, glossy brown shell, and sweet-earthy flavor, native to Europe, Asia, and North Africa, where it grows in temperate climates and well-drained soils, harvested in autumn for roasting, boiling, or making sweets. Its spiny covering, called a burr, is a green, prickly husk that protects the fruit during development, opening when mature to release one to three chestnuts, serving as a defense against animals and environmental factors. |
