Roasted Chestnuts in Sa Pa, Vietnam

Castagne a Sa Pa

Roasted chestnuts in Sa Pa, Vietnam.
The season of this magical fruit has begun and it is also found in great abundance in Vietnam.
I love this fruit very much and I did not believe (due to my ignorance) to find it in Vietnam. To tell the truth, I have only seen them in this region of the far North, it is certainly not a plant for a tropical climate.
Like here, they are then roasted and sold by the kilo while still hot.
I could not resist… and they were very soft and sweet.

The exact origins of the chestnut tree are unknown. Fossil findings attest that the tree should derive from a trunk that originated in the Tertiary, about 10 million years ago and that in a warm climate period had spread to Asia, Europe and the Americas.
