So, does chestnut want to be "terrorist" like Twitter? In response, the reporter interviewed the director of the Nutrition Association of Jiangsu Province and Sun Feng, a professor of preventive medicine at the Medical College of Yangzhou University. Sun explained that although chestnuts are nut foods, their starch content is relatively high. “The amount of starch in the six chestnuts is about the same as the amount of starch in a bowl of rice, but chestnuts are only snacks and cannot be used as staple foods, nor are we advised to eat more.”
