The flavor of hazelnuts is probably well-known to everyone. The taste of these nuts is so delicious that many consider them to be irreplaceable.

This wonderful taste comes from all the oil hazelnuts are rich in (60%). They also contain 14-18% of proteins, 14% of carbohydrates, and 2.4% of minerals. Hazelnuts are richest in potassium (680mg per 100g), then phosphorus (290mg), magnesium (163mg), calcium (114mg), manganese, iron, zinc, copper, and selenium (4mg). When it comes to vitamins, they are richest in vitamin E, popular antioxidant, vitamin A, vitamins B, and C, as well as fatty acids and amino acids (these nutrition facts refer to raw hazelnuts).

Hazelnuts grow in the wild, but they can also be grown, both as a shrub and as a tree.

Apart from being used in desserts, hazelnuts are also used as ingredients in salads, as well as main dishes.
