Chestnuts are the only nut that contain vitamin C — and lots of it. They are also less oily than other nuts. A 3-1/2 ounce (100 g) serving contains 213 calories and is low in fat; only 2 g. Chestnuts are an excellent source of folacin and vitamin B6 and a source of iron, too. If you're looking for carbs, turn to chestnuts. Ounce for ounce, they contain twice as many as potatoes.
