Crème de Châtaigne

Crème de Châtaigne is an organic chestnut spread produced in France and sold in a glass jar, containing chestnuts, cane sugar, lemon juice and fruit pectin. Nutritionally it is very high in sugars (51 g per 100 g) while providing low fat (0.8 g), low saturated fat (0.2 g) and low salt (0.1 g), resulting in a Nutri‑Score of D and a NOVA classification of 4, indicating an ultra‑processed product with the food‑additive E440 (pectin). It can be enjoyed as an occasional sweet spread for vegan diets, but the high sugar level and presence of a nut allergen make it unsuitable for low‑sugar or nut‑allergic consumers.
