About Nuts, beechnuts, dried
Dried beechnuts are the small, triangular seeds of European beech trees, rich in fat and moderate in starch, with negligible listed fiber. The fat profile is largely unsaturated. Protein is low compared to more commonly eaten nuts. They have a mild, slightly sweet flavor when fresh but turn bitter as they age, which has limited their commercial use. Historically important as a forage food and as a source of beechnut oil in Europe. Rarely available in American retail.
