Is a "Chestnut" the same thing as a "Buckeye"?

They're related : A botanical footnote:





The buckeye tree (Aesculus glabra) is a relative of the chestnut and the horse-chestnut. The nut is the same rich, mellow warm-brown as a chestnut, but it is less readily edible, due to its high tannic acid content. The California Indians leached both acorns and buckeyes, but there were many other easily edible nuts in the Midwest and East, including hickory, walnut, butternut, and -- until the blight struck during the 20th century -- chestnut, so the Indians and the white folks who followed them into the area just left the buckeyes alone.





While chestnuts and horse-chestnuts are flat on one side and gently rounded on the other, with a flattened, round abcssion scar at the top and a pointed tip at the bottom, the smaller buckeyes are more uniformly spherical, albeit irregular in shape. In fact, at about an inch in diameter, they resemble nothing so much as diminutive human testicles. If you oil them, they will dry to a nice smooth finish, with none of the air-gaps between the shell and the kernel that you'll find in dried chestnuts.

Thanks! Glad I could help : ) Report It

Reply:nope, chestnuts grow on chestunt trees and can be found inside the spikey balls they grow in. Buckeyes fall alone, with no outer shell. Different tree. Buckeyes are lucky :) rub on their soft spots for luck
Reply:A Buckeye is also called a "horse chestnut". That's why some people confuse them with the regular chestnut.
