Sugar-fried chestnuts are famous traditional snacks in Beijing and Tianjin. They are also delicious and have a long tradition. Lu You wrote such a touching story in Notes of Old Xuegong in the Southern Song Dynasty. He said: "Li He, the old capital (referring to Bianjing in the Northern Song Dynasty, that is, Kaifeng today), is famous on all sides. Others try their best to make it work, but it is out of reach." Then he wrote: "Shaoxing, Chen Fuguong and Qian entered the cabinet and sent envoys to the DPRK. Arrived in Yanshan, suddenly two people took ten pieces of fried chestnuts in exchange ... and boasted: "Li Ye." Go away in tears. Based on this, it can be inferred that Li He, a Bianjing cooking expert, broke his family business when foreign countries invaded, and his son lived in Yanshan with the stunt of frying chestnuts. He dedicated chestnuts to the messengers of the old country, expressing his yearning for the reunification of the motherland.

Chestnuts fried with sugar are dark brown, shiny, crisp and easy to peel, sweet and delicious.

Chestnut, also known as chestnut, has the reputation of "king of dried fruits" and "ginseng fruit" abroad. Chestnuts not only contain a lot of starch, but also are rich in nutrients such as protein, fat and B vitamins. They are also high in calories and were used instead of dinner in ancient times. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, planting chestnuts was very popular. Sweet chestnuts, as precious fruits since ancient times, are the best among dried fruits.
