Castanea dentata

American Castanea dentata North America food... 

Most nuts have a large concentration of protein, and are an important food source for wildlife. Humans often eat nuts as well. Formerly, Native Americans would leach out the astringent tannins from acorns so they could be eaten. North Americans once prized the nuts of the American chestnnt (Castanea dentata) as a food. However, these trees have been decimated by an introduced fungus, known as the Chestnut blight. Now, nuts of the sweet chestnut tree (Cadtomea sakua) are occasionally served instead.

Chestnut belongs to the Fagaceae family (with beeches and oaks) and the genus Castanea. The important nut-bearing species are C. cremta, C. dentata, C. mollissirm, C. sativa, and the hybrids of dentata and mollissima [6]. 

The horse chestnut, Aesculus hippocastanum L. (Hippo-castanaceae also sometimes given as A. hypocastanum), is a familiar tree, being native to temperate regions of the northern hemisphere. Other chestnut (Castanea) species yield brown dyestuffs for example, C. dentata (Marsh.) Borkh. (Schweppe, 1992) is known to have been used by the Native American Cherokee for this purpose (Moerman, 1998) - however, none are known to have been converted into pigments. 

Regulatory Status. Leaves approved for food use as natural flavoring substance ( 172.510) only C. dentata is listed. Castanea sativa leaves are the subject of a German therapeutic monograph however, use is not recommended since efficacy is not well documented (blumenthal 1).
