Water Chestnut (500 grams)

Water chestnut is an aquatic vegetable that grows in shallow water. Its edible portion is a tuber-like corm, small, round, and covered with a dark brown skin, which conceals its crisp, white flesh inside. Known for its subtle sweetness and distinct crunch, water chestnut is commonly enjoyed fresh, canned, or even dried.

In cooking, it’s widely appreciated in Asian cuisines, especially in stir-fries, salads, and soups, where it retains its crunchy texture even after cooking. Nutritionally, water chestnuts are low in calories and high in fiber, making them a hydrating and healthful choice. They’re also a good source of vitamin B6, potassium, and antioxidants, supporting heart health and digestive well-being.
