Chestnut
The chestnut has history. But we’re more interested in its future. Beneath that familiar shell sits an ingredient ready to stretch far beyond what we thought we knew.
This edition of the Low Food Lab, supported by WWF-NL and partners, brought together chefs, researchers, food designers and system thinkers to rediscover the sweet chestnut – not as a nostalgic forest snack, but as a resilient, multifunctional ingredient with potential far beyond the plate. From starch to sugar, root to canopy, the chestnut emerged as a symbol of biodiversity and agro-forestry.

Moromi
What’s left after soy sauce might be the start of something else entirely. Moromi is rich, complex and with remarkable culinary potential. We brought it back to the kitchen.
