Savory, sweet, nutty and tart all at once

Water chestnuts are unique aquatic vegetables known for their satisfying crunch and versatility in various culinary applications. These crisp, mild-flavored treasures are a staple in many Asian dishes but have gained popularity worldwide.

They taste  like a cross between a coconut and an apple, with the texture of an Asian pear.

Remember, sliced water chestnuts are typically canned or jarred, so they're already cooked and ready to eat. Simply drain and rinse them before adding to your dishes. Their mild, slightly sweet flavor and satisfying crunch make them a versatile ingredient in both savory and sweet recipes.
