Chestnut Roll/밤빵/栗子卷

In Korea, autumn is the harvest season for chestnuts.

Fresh chestnut fruits have about 180 calories per 100 grams of edible fruits, which is much lower than walnuts, almonds and other nuts. Chestnuts contain no cholesterol and contain very little fat, mostly unsaturated and no gluten.

Chestnuts have twice as much starch as the potato. They are the only " nuts" that contain Vitamin C.

在韩国，秋季是栗子成熟丰收的季节。

每一100g 的栗子含有 180 的卡路里，这比核桃，杏仁或其他的果仁来的低。 栗子也不含胆固醇 和脂肪。

栗子所含的淀粉量是马铃薯的两倍。它也是在众多果仁中唯一含有维他命 C的。
