A few nuts, such as the acorn, cocoanut and chestnut, are very rich in
starch, and these should be classified as starchy foods. Very few foods
contain as high per cent of starch as the dry chestnut. In southern
Europe chestnuts are made into flour, and this is made into bread or
cakes. An inferior bread is also made of acorn flour. Chestnuts may be
boiled or roasted. They are very nutritious.
