3790.0. "Water Chestnuts" by MR4DEC::SFRASER () Fri Apr 23 1993 13:37

    Does anyone know the nutritional value of Water Chestnuts?
    
    I love to cook with them and put them in salads, casseroles,
    etc., but am curious to know, now, if I am really adding to
    the value of my meals.
    
    Thanks in advance.

	Not really: A tiny amount of B vitamins, a bit of complex carbohydrate (starch), quite a bit of fiber. The main benefit I see to them is that they give a nice crunchy texture to dishes. --PSW

	Very little fat and low in calories, if that's what you are concerned about...about 10-15 calories an ounce, I believe. D!
