Chestnut has been part of the staple diet in many countries for centuries. It has a sweet and nutty flavor, and its texture is like a firm baked potato and not crunchy compared to other nuts. Chestnut, which is classified as a temperate nut, requires cold winters and warm summers. It has been grown on all continents in northern hemisphere and Austraha [2,3]. hi Asia, the Japanese chestnut Castanea crenata) has been cultivated since the eleventh century and the Chinese chestnut (Castanea mollissima), possibly for 6000 years. In the Mediterranean region, chestnut has been cultivated for at least 3000 years [2]. In Europe, chestnut spreads from south to north and from Mediterranean to Sweden. It was brought to the Alps and Appennines, and new villages were built only where chestnut could grow and produce fruits [4]. 

C. mollis Sima is a Chinese chestnut. Nuts of C. mollissima are medium-large in size (10-30g) with good quality. It is the most tolerant species to chestnut blight [2,7]. Hybrids of dentata and mollisima are supposedly bUght-tolerant and have a quality similar to that of C. dentata.

The importance of the minerals and the consequences of their deficiency are well known [28], The mineral contents of Chinese, European, and Japanese chestnuts are listed in Table 11.2 [22], European chestnut has the highest potassium content compared to Chinese and Japanese chestnuts. Magnesium, phosphorus, and manganese contents are higher in Chinese chestnut than in European and Japanese chestnuts. On the other hand, Japanese chestnut contains the highest amounts of calcium, iron, sodium, zinc, and copper contents among these three varieties. The minimum and maximum percentages of recommended dietary allowances (RDA) or adequate intake (Al) of these minerals obtained by... 

American chestnut has the highest lipid content (9.5g/100g), followed by chinkapin (4.0g/100g), European (2.9g/100g), and Chinese chestnuts (2.1g/100g) [40]. The high lipid content in American chestnut may enhance its sensory preference since it is well known that mouthfeel and flavor of many food products are influenced by lipids [51].

The deciduous trees and shrubs also known as the broad-leaved plants and the summer-green plants form the principal tropophytes. The deciduous forests, which include the oaks, the beeches, the ashes, the maples, the walnuts, the chestnuts, cover a great part of eastern and western China, central Europe (England, France, Belgium, Germany) and eastern Australia, and are coincident with the countries occupied by the most civilized races of man, such as the Americans, Europeans, Chinese and Japanese. The cold temperate climatic conditions which have determined the distribution of the forest trees have been influential also in the development of the energetic races of mankind.

You can tell that the head chef and manager, David Chen, has studied in the West for a while. The stuffed bell pepper - a pepper stuffed with water chestnuts, mushrooms, carrots and tofu - is an example of the nice crossover between East and West. There are a number of other non-traditional Chinese entrees as well. 

Microanalytical techniques, consisting of methaneboronation of the vicinal hydroxyls ( bismethaneboronate or methaneboronate-TMS-ether ) have been developed by Takatsutoet al. for the GC/MS or GC/SIM of brassinosteroids (16). Consequently brassinone (15), 24-ethylbrassinone (12) and 28-norbrassinolide (14) were detected by GC/MS without isolation from Chinese cabbage ( Brassica campestris ), green tea ( Thea sinensis ) and chestnut insect galls ( Distilium racemosum ) (17-19). The presence of brassinolide and castasterone in the tissues of these plants has been also detected.
