Hazelnuts (Corylus avellana) are the edible nuts of the hazel tree and are also known as cobnuts or filberts, depending on the species. These small nuts are encased in a fibrous husk and have a smooth, hard shell. Hazelnut kernels are used raw, roasted, or ground into paste for a variety of dishes and treats, including pralines, chocolate truffles, and products like Nutella. Hazelnuts are rich in protein, unsaturated fats, and vitamins like thiamine and vitamin B6. 🌰
Hazelnut trees are native to Europe, Asia, and North America and are commonly cultivated for both commercial production and home orchards. In addition to their nut production, hazel trees have historical significance, with evidence of large-scale nut processing dating back 9,000 years. 🌿
Cultivating your own hazelnuts at home provides fresh, flavorful nuts for use in everything from baking to hazelnut oil for cooking. Hazelnut trees are cold-hardy, requiring well-drained soil and plenty of sunlight. 🌞
