Chestnuts

Chestnuts – Naturally Sweet, Low-Fat & Distinctly Nutritious

Product Overview

Chestnuts (Castanea sativa) are a unique nut variety known for their mildly sweet flavor, tender texture, and nutritional balance. Unlike most tree nuts, chestnuts are low in fat but rich in complex carbohydrates, fiber, and essential minerals. Their soft, floury texture and naturally sweet aroma make them ideal for both savory and dessert applications in bakery, confectionery, and gourmet cuisine.

At Tuna Sourcing, we supply ISO 22000-certified Chestnuts sourced from leading production regions in Turkey, China, and Italy. Each chestnut is carefully selected, peeled, and processed using advanced thermal and drying technologies to preserve flavor and nutritional integrity. Available in fresh, roasted, frozen, or dried forms, our chestnuts are perfectly suited for industrial manufacturing, private-label packaging, and retail distribution.
