  The Cambridge World History of Food- Chestnuts
After performing the not-so-easy operations of extracting the chestnut from its bur, hard-peel cover, and adhering tannic skin, one has a nourishing nut that is 40 to 60 percent water, 30 to 50 percent glucids, 1 to 3 percent lipids, and 3 to 7 percent protids.
Following this step, the dried chestnuts — from 5 to 10 kg at a time — were wrapped in a cloth and rhythmically thrashed against a hard surface to separate the nuts from shells and skins that the drying process had loosened.
Chestnuts were mostly the food of rural peasants in mountainous regions that stretched in a belt from Portugal to Turkey.
