It is known that chestnuts appeared in the southern part of the planet. Scientists conducted laborious research and found their pollen in Europe, which may occur during the Ice Age. In food, the fruit began to be used in Greece and Rome, and later spread throughout the planet. People were sophisticated: they cooked chestnuts on an open fire, served with wine, and simply took them with them on the road due to the fact that the products did not deteriorate. It is noteworthy that the method of cooking has not changed since then!
