    Water chestnuts are not recommended to be eaten raw and are not very healthy. Water chestnuts are "dirty" and not suitable for eating raw. Because it grows in the mud, there may be more bacteria and parasites attached to the skin and inside, so it must be washed and cooked thoroughly before consumption.
