Water chestnuts are not in fact chestnuts at all. They are crunchy tuberous vegetables which are used in many Asian dishes, soups and salads.
Water chestnuts are a source of moderate amounts of protein and vitamin C., but are nowhere near as nutritious as even a potato or other tuberous vegetables.
They do not grow on trees in marshy areas, but are actually grown wild in marshes or shallow water along lake banks or as a second crop in a rice paddy, and are an important export from many areas of Asia in particular China and Japan.
