Water chestnuts are small, round corms, akin in size to chestnuts, featuring a dark brown skin enveloping a crisp, white flesh. Known for their subtle, mildly sweet taste, they frequently contribute more to the texture than the flavor of dishes.
Application: used in stir-fries, Asian dishes, salads, and soups. They can also be sliced or diced and added to various recipes to add a refreshing crunch.
