The sun-dried chestnuts are later sold in markets, particularly in summer capital city Srinagar, and are consumed raw or roasted and even ground into a flour which locals say has medicinal properties. Its flour is consumed mostly by the people living around the lake. Now it is also in demand for its anti-diabetic properties, and is used by diabetic patients, because it is free of both cholesterol and fat.
