China Bay Water Chestnuts - Product Review

For those of you who enjoy cooking and like to try different things in your dishes then a must try is sliced water chestnuts. I found a company China Bay that sales sliced water chestnuts in a can. They are imported and come from Maine in a 8 ounce can.

A serving size for these water chestnuts is 2 so around 1/4 cup full. You will get about 45 calories with your serving. There is no fat in this product and it only has 10 milligrams of sodium in them.

These sliced water chestnuts are a great way to add variety to your dishes. From stir fry dishes to soups or salads. The ideas are not limited to just these. Explore with your dishes and your taste buds and see where you might add them.

They have eleven grams of total carbohydrates and 4 grams of dietary fiber inside. These chestnuts have no preservatives added and no artificial colors or flavors as well. You'll only get one gram of protein with these water chestnuts and two grams of sugar.

I have enjoyed cooking with these water chestnuts because they are all natural. I have found according to www.wisegeek.com that water chestnuts are very popular in dishes because they add texture and flavor. The water chestnut is also very popular among Asian dishes.

I have now cooked these water chestnuts in my rice dishes as well. When preparing my fried rice I simply add some of my favorite items. Some of the things you might want to try is eggs, snow peas, water chestnuts, chicken, carrots, etc.

Another thing I found out with cooking these China Bay water chestnuts is that they don't lose their firmness in the pan. They stay hard and have their own sweetness that is just very lightly hinted when you bite into them. I use them now for the crunchiness of them in my stir fry dishes as well as the texture, the taste is amazing.
