　　What are the health hazards of sugar-roasted chestnuts?

　　The most common way we eat chestnuts is roasted chestnuts with sugar, but many people have also questioned whether roasted chestnuts with sugar are hygienic and healthy.

　　First of all, the reason why people like sugar-roasted chestnuts is because of their unique sweet and delicious taste. So, will adding sugar make chestnuts taste sweeter and more fragrant? The skin of chestnuts is very tough, whether it is solid white sugar or heated sugar juice.

　　It is difficult for them to enter the chestnut, but stick to the shell of the particles. In many places in our country, chestnuts are roasted without sugar, and the taste is still sweet and delicious. Therefore, adding sugar to roasted chestnuts with "sugar" is meaningless in terms of taste.

　　Secondly, from a hygienic point of view, the appearance of chestnuts fried without sugar is dry, just like the outer skin of fried melon seeds, so your hands will not get dirty after eating them. After eating sugar-roasted chestnuts, you will find that your hands are dark. Not only do you have to clean the "sugar" stuck to your hands after each meal, but due to the unique stickiness of the sugar after frying, it is also likely to cause dust on the outside of the chestnuts and dirt in the sand to stick to the chestnut flesh, and eventually be carried into our stomachs.

　　Thirdly, from the perspective of food safety, the "sugar" of roasted chestnuts has been repeatedly heated to high temperatures. It is not yet certain whether it will produce harmful substances, but it is certainly not beneficial. As for the sugar-roasted chestnuts currently on the market, it is difficult for us to distinguish whether the beautiful color on the surface of the chestnuts comes from "sugar" or "paraffin". This creates opportunities for those greedy merchants and vendors. In order to make the roasted chestnuts more beautiful and consumers have more appetite after seeing them, it is now well known that paraffin is added to sugar-roasted chestnuts.
