When speaking of Cao Bang, one cannot overlook Trung Khanh chestnuts, a famous delicacy known for its irresistible aroma and flavor. The chestnuts boast a dark brown, glossy shell, renowned for their large size, thin skin, and creamy, rich interior. Upon tasting, one can savor the sweet, delicate flavor that harmonizes with a gentle aroma, lingering on the palate and in the throat.



Trung Khanh boasts over 240 hectares of chestnut orchards. This region benefits from a highly favorable climate and abundant water sources from rivers and streams, which are ideal for the lush growth of chestnut trees. Consequently, Trung Khanh chestnuts are renowned for their uniquely rich and fragrant flavor that cannot be matched elsewhere.
 

Trung Khanh chestnuts can be prepared into various delicious dishes, each offering a distinct culinary experience. Here are some popular ways to enjoy them:

- Boiled Chestnuts: This is the simplest way to enjoy the original flavor of chestnuts. Boiled chestnuts have a tender, fragrant taste and are easy to eat.

- Roasted Chestnuts: You can roast chestnuts on a pan or in the oven. When roasting, it's essential to stir them evenly to ensure they cook uniformly and don't burn. Roasted chestnuts have a crunchy texture and a richer aroma compared to boiled chestnuts.

- Dried Chestnuts: With this method of preparation, chestnuts can be preserved longer than boiled or roasted ones. You can dry chestnuts using a microwave or a food dehydrator. Dried chestnuts can be eaten directly or used in baking, making desserts, and cooking various dishes.
