Chinese water chestnuts are a vegetable (not a nut), grown in marshlands. They are unusual among vegetables because they remain crisp after being cooked or canned. This gives a great contrast when mixed with other cooked vegetables. They are a good source of dietary fibre, riboflavin, vitamin B6, potassium, copper and manganese.
