Nutrition Facts
Pie gets most of its fat and calories from the crust, with very little nutrients. This recipe replaces these empty calories with a more nutritious crumble.
Chestnuts provide only 50 calories per ounce (1 ounce = about 3-5 nuts). Compare this to other nuts that have 3-4x the calories! Chestnuts are lower in calories because they are 50% water and low in fat (0.3 g per ounce).
Canada's Food Guide
suggests you eat at least
one serving
of orange vegetables such as pumpkin each day to get enough beta-carotene. The body turns beta-carotene into vitamin A, which promotes bone health, vision and the immune system.
