Hazelnuts are round, smooth nuts with a hard, brown shell and a creamy, sweet kernel inside. They have a rich, buttery flavor and a crunchy texture, making them popular for snacking, baking, and cooking. Hazelnuts are widely used in chocolates, spreads (like Nutella), desserts, and savory dishes. They are nutritious, rich in healthy fats, vitamins (especially vitamin E), minerals, and antioxidants. Hazelnuts grow on hazel trees, primarily cultivated in countries such as Turkey, Italy, and the United States.
