Water Chestnuts
Water chestnuts are a year-round pantry staple, primarily available canned to preserve their distinctively crisp, apple-like texture. While fresh tubers peak in winter, the tinned variety provides a reliable crunch for stir-fries and fillings. They are a good source of fiber, potassium, and antioxidants like ferulic acid.
