In the cool month of December there is a warming dish that is especially popular around the world. Roasted chestnuts are often found at this time of year. The earthy, unique scent is more than enough to immerse everyone in the Christmas spirit.
On December 14 it's time to honor roasted chestnuts. Or rather to note the tradition of roasted chestnuts, established over time.
History of Roasted Chestnuts Day
Roast Chestnuts Day is a relatively new holiday on the calendar. Although it is difficult to determine exactly when they began to become so popular, historians suggest that the 16th century was a turning point when chestnuts began to be sold by street vendors to anyone who wanted a quick and hot breakfast. It has long been a tradition in Portugal to eat them baked on St. Martin's Day, and in Tuscany on St. Simon's Day.
Sweet chestnut (Castanea sativa) is a moisture-loving deciduous tree. It originated in Asia and is now found in North Africa, the Caucasus and Southern Europe. In Bulgaria it can be found on the northern slopes of the Pirin Mountains, Belasitsa (the village of Kolarovo - an annual chestnut festival is held!), Slavyanka and the western parts of the Balkan Mountains. In general, the tree lives up to over 140 years of age.
When the chestnuts are carefully roasted, the natural sweetness of the nut is revealed. This makes them a perfect breakfast! With relatively low calories, they are also an extremely good source of fiber. They are also very rich in vitamin C, which may surprise you.
It is definitely worth trying the sweet and earthy taste of these nuts. If you've never tasted them before, then the day of the roasted chestnuts is the perfect time to enjoy them!
Chestnuts are often grilled, which helps to remove the bitter, shiny shells and so peeled are consumed warm!
