Is it safe to consume chestnuts?

Chestnuts' high (52 percent) moisture content makes them quite susceptible to mold and bacterial growth. For this reason, chestnuts should be kept covered and refrigerated. In Massachusetts, the tree most often mistaken for the American chestnut is a much planted ornamental tree called the horse chestnut (Aesculus hippocastanum).

This species displays distinctive conical clusters of flowers 10 inches long and 3 to 4 inches in diameter. The horse chestnut also bears large nuts, but these have a very bitter taste and are considered to be poisonous.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
