- Adding value to endogenous resources: spicy chestnut bits and salty chestnut crackers... Wanna a bite?Publication . Barbosa, Carolina; Gualter, Francisco; Ferreira, Iasmin da Silva; Quintino, Mariah; Andrade, Paula Ariane; Witiak, Roksana; Cabo, Paula; Campos, João C.Portugal is a leading producer of chestnuts, which are deeply rooted in the country's economy, gastronomy, and cultural heritage. To positively impact the chestnut sector's economic value, a co-creation project was initiated to develop chestnut-based food products that can add value and boost consumption.

These products aim to shape the supply to changes in nut consumption, create new ways for chestnut intake, and explore potential synergies with other chestnut-based products.
