What is a hazelnut?
Hazelnuts are a rich source of nutrients, including healthy fats, protein, fiber, vitamins, and minerals.
Hazelnut is a type of nut it grows all over the world. Turkey dominates the world hazelnut market for dissected hazelnut; it is a country that produces 600,000 to 900,000 t/year (with family orchards producing less than 1.5 t/ha) or 80 % of global production.
Hazelnuts have a hard outer shell: yes, it helps your teeth; remove it before eating 🙂
