Difference between chestnuts and water chestnuts?

Taste, texture, they come from different plants...



Chestnuts are smoother. Water chestnuts are crunchy and have, you got it, a higher water content.



If you mean applications, water chestnuts are usually in stir fries, maybe salads. Chestnuts make stuffings, one kind of catsup, soups, purees, they go into baked goods.
