Gift of Italian Chestnuts

Lion Corey surprised Lion Joe B (native Italian) with a gift of holiday chestnuts

Once a principal food source, Italians grew chestnuts to make flour for bread and polenta.  Italy’s love of chestnuts started in Roman times, when chestnuts were a form of currency, especially when crops failed due to poor weather.  Chestnuts were once a staple for the poor man’s diet.  They evolved from an everyday food to a delicacy.  Chestnuts paired with wine are a traditional food combination associated with harvest.  Available from Sept-Feb, most chestnuts found in America are imported from Italy.
