The Sweet Chestnut Trees – A Guide To Their Food, Medicine, Identification & Mythology



🌳🌰🌳The Sweet Chestnut Trees 🌳🌰🌳
The Sweet Chestnut Trees are fantastic trees each autumn blessing us with an abundance of their delicious sweet chestnuts 🌰 Traditionally roasted over open fires or boiled into soup’s the sweet chestnuts have long been adored by both people & wildlife all throughout history. Historically used for both food & medicine sweet chestnuts are a nutritional powerhouse packed full of everything we need to live 💚 But here’s where the sweet chestnut tree gets even more interesting, because the leaves of this tree used since the days of ancient Greeks to treat infections have now been found to contain a molecule new to science. This special molecule growing naturally within the tree’s leaves has been found to have the power to neutralise even the strongest strains of the antibiotic resistant superbug known as MRSA 🌳🌰

    I asked Santa ( my daughters and husband all) for your book for Christmas. I do hope Santa heard! I have been a lover of the herbs and the weeds and the trees all my life but you always teach me something I don't know. You and yours Be Blessed ( : Thanks for sharing you.

    We tried foraging sweet chestnuts last Autumn in several areas in North East Ireland but all the chestnuts were tiny or flat like you showed… I read that our climate isn't warm enough, is that the case?? BTW I just received your book today its absolutely fantastic and will be our home Ed Bible 😁😘

    Thank you for your wonderful videos! I am blessed; I have a pair of huge sweet chestnut trees growing at the back of my property in Western Washington state, USA. As far as I know, they were planted here in the 1960s. Each spring, my trees literally hum from all the bees that come to pollinate the flowers. In fall, people and racoons come to get chestnuts every year. The pokey outer seed coverings are a pain (literally), but the chestnuts are worth it. Until today, I didn't know the trees also have medicinal value. Thank you and Blessed Be! NOTE to Home Is Where Our Heart Is: Please don't use an apostrophe to make a word plural; the apostrophe is properly used to show possession (ownership) or a contraction (where you leave off a letter) as in Pam's cat or don't do that.

    Thank you for telling us the history behind this beautiful tree. Fancy one being thousands of years old!? I'll have to watch again in case I've got that wrong. I've been trying to grow some from Xmas chestnuts bought at local supermarkets – come from Italy I think. Love your videos 🦋🌳

    There is a beutiful legend concerning the sweet chestnut tree. When the Spanish Armada suffered big losses due to storms in 1588 on the Irish coast, many drowned Spanish sailors washed ahore. One of them had sweet chestnut in his pockets snd he was buried in a cemetery. One of the chesnuts in hid pocket germinated. The tree was called the Spanish Armada Tree. It died in 2020 almost 500 years old.

    Is there a way to use the leaves medicinally? I know you said there's a lot of benefits in the leaves but how would one use them?
