Class 6th G, Escola E.B. 2/3 Professor Gonçalo Sampaio, Póvoa de Lanhoso, PORTUGAL

On 11th November, in Portugal, we celebrate Saint Martin's Day, making open fires to roast chestnuts. Traditionally we call it "Magusto".

So, we decided this could be our first cooking experience at school.

• We brought the chestnuts from home. Our parents helped to give them a small cut.
• Then, we added some salt.
• We asked our canteen cooks to roast the chestnuts in the oven.
• Finally we put them in paper cones, peeled and ate them.
• Hot, delicious and very nutritious!!!

Did you know that chestnuts are very healthy? They contain very little fat and no gluten. They are the only "nuts" that contain vitamin C.

Try our "Magusto"! Enjoy!
