Autumn is a colorful season and a harvest season. There are oranges, persimmons, walnuts, etc., but my favorite is the chestnut, which is known as the "king of dried fruits". Chestnut is rich in nutrients and is anti-aging and longevity. Chestnuts are sweet in taste and warm in nature. They have the effects of nourishing the stomach, invigorating the spleen, strengthening the kidneys and muscles, promoting blood circulation and stopping bleeding. Chestnuts can be used in many ways. In this golden autumn October, they are made into chestnut fillings and covered with ice skin. Snowy moon cakes are also a delicacy.
