Description
Water Chestnuts in Syrup - 565 g
Water chestnuts in syrup are a preserved Asian ingredient where the white, round chestnuts are packed in a sweet sugar syrup. Water chestnuts originate from aquatic plants whose tubers grow submerged in mud beneath the water's surface, and they are particularly prevalent in Chinese and Southeast Asian cuisine. The product contains 40.7% water chestnuts and is ready to use directly from the can, making preparation quick and simple. They can be used in a wide range of dishes, including crispy dim sum fillings, stir-fries with vegetables and meat, and the classic Thai dessert tab tim grob. Water chestnuts are also suitable as a garnish for cakes and sweet desserts, where their distinctive shape and light color provide a decorative touch. The texture is firm and crunchy even after preservation, which distinguishes them from many other canned vegetables. The taste is mild and slightly sweet, making them versatile in both sweet and savory contexts. The product is free from artificial additives and contains the preservative E223 (SULFITE) and acidity regulator E330. The can weighs 565 g with a drained weight of 230 g. After opening, the content should be transferred to another container and stored in the refrigerator for a maximum of 2 days. Unopened, the product is best stored in a cool, dry place. Canned water chestnuts are a practical and time-saving alternative to fresh water chestnuts and are suitable for home cooks who want to experiment with Asian flavors. The product is certified halal, vegan, and vegetarian, thus suiting many different dietary preferences. It is an obvious choice for Asian-inspired cooking, festive occasions, and everyday dishes with an exotic touch.
