Fruits & Vegetables Week: Castanea sativa, the Chestnut<\/a>:\u00a0:

\nCastanea sativa : Sweet Chestnut : 171011 : AK-4<\/a>::
\nSweet Chestnut<\/b> or Castanea sativa<\/b> from Srinagar<\/span> taken in Sept,11.<\/p>\n

\n

Now I have to clarify a doubt.
\nWe get Chestnuts here in Winter which are to be roasted and eaten.
\nI want to know if they are the same.<\/p>\n

\n

Chestnuts sold in warm climate are generally water chesnut, whose floor is eaten during fasts. It is Trapa bispinosa<\/i> in warm places and Trapa natans<\/i> in cold places (including Kashmir). I hope you are talking about that only.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

These are known as Chestnuts<\/b> and are available here in the Muscat Super markets during Winter months.
\nThese are to be roasted and then eaten after removing the outer cover.<\/span>
\nI will check their origin and let you know.<\/p>\n

\n

It must be interesting to know how these chestnuts (this is Castanea sativa<\/i>) reach muscat. Are they grown there?, in such hot climate or kept in cold storage. I have tried to bring them from Kashmir (of course in late summer) to Delhi, but they get spoilt within a week or so.<\/p>\n

\n

They are definitely not grown here locally.
\nWe get fruits from all over the world….US, Australia, Turkey, India, Kenya, South Africa, New Zealand and many other places.
\nFor a short period in Winter they are available in supermarkets and also in dry fruit shops.
\nBut you are right….they don’t stay for long.
\nWhile choosing you need to pick up the fresh light brown ones.
\nI just called a dry fruit vendor I know….he says Chestnuts come from New Zealand, Australia and Iran….places having cooler climate.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

So your Kashmir fruits can be enjoyed here!
\nWe do get Cherries from Kashmir during season here & Hazelnuts from Turkey.
\nIn the elite supermarkets you find Blue Berries, Cranberries, etc<\/p>\n

I hope Castanea sativa<\/i>, the chestnut<\/p>\n

\n

would this an exotic planted in a museum campus or does it occur routinely in that geographical area?<\/p>\n
