FUN FACTS & TIPS

The water chestnut, despite its name, is not a nut. It is an aquatic vegetable that is often produced underwater in marshes, ponds, paddy fields, and shallow lakes which is extremely unexpected. It is a reed-like perennial plant with long and thin hollow leaves. The corm, which grows underwater, is the edible component. The corms resemble horse hooves, thus the Chinese name ma ti, which means "horse hooves" in Chinese.
