Hazelnuts

Hazelnuts originated in wild trees in Asia and Europe and have a long history of humans eating the nut in the wild since the earliest times. Hazelnuts have also been known as Cob, and the cultivated varieties, which are bigger, are now called filberts. The filberts were developed from the species of hazel nuts from SE Europe. The filberts are used often in sweet and savory dishes and stews. The hazelnut now has been ground and made into hazelnuts flour, oil and hazelnut butter, and added to coffee.

Filberts are lower in fat than most of the nut family and nutritionally, 100g. hazel nuts will yeild 7.6g. protein and will not present a fat problem in salads, or bake shop cookies or cakes.

Nuts4u offers filberts, the cultivated variety.
