The nut known as the hazelnut is indigenous to North America, Europe, and Asia. The fruit that the hazelnut tree produces only has one seed, which is what we refer to as a hazelnut.

Protein, fiber, and important vitamins and minerals like magnesium and vitamin E can all be found in hazelnuts. Additionally, they are incredibly sweet and ideal for baking or nibbling.

They have a thin, brown paper-like coating and are light brown in color. They are hard and have a flavor that is slightly sweet and nutty.

Hazelnuts help prevent cell damage, help prevent weight gain, and are a good source of dietary fiber. All year long, hazelnuts can be found on the market. Hazelnuts come in a variety of forms in supermarkets, including shelled, unshelled, salted, sweetened, milled (powder), etc.

Buy raw, unprocessed nuts that still have their outer shell on. The nuts should be compact, homogeneous in size, bright brown-yellow, and weighty to the touch. They should be free of rancid smells, surface cracks, mold, and spots.

Hazelnuts without their shells can be kept for years in a cool, dry environment. Nuts that have been shelled (i.e., stripped of their covering) should be kept in the refrigerator in an airtight container to prevent rancidity.

Hazelnuts are not only a delectable treat but also loaded with health advantages. They include a lot of beneficial fats that can help clear plaque from the blood vessels. Additionally, they contain a lot of proteins, fiber, and vital vitamins and minerals. Most importantly, hazelnuts are a rich source of phytosterols, which are among the strongest antioxidants in nature.

These nuts are regarded as having a high calorie and fat content. However, because they can keep fuller for extended periods of time, hazelnuts can actually aid in weight loss if one consumes them in moderation. An ounce of hazelnuts is a suitable serving size in general. Hazelnuts add about 176 calories, 17 grams of fat, and 3 grams of fiber per ounce (or roughly 21 kernels). One can easily avoid overeating at supper by consuming half to a plate of hazelnuts 1 to 2 hours beforehand. One should be careful not to consume more hazelnuts than is advised for the diet.

Hazelnuts have a high-fat level, similar to other nuts, but don't worry—these fats are excellent unsaturated fats that support heart health and mental acuity.

Oleic acid is prevalent in high concentrations in hazelnuts. This omega-9 fatty acid is beneficial in lowering blood pressure and preventing heart attacks and strokes. Additionally, oleic acid is thought to enhance mental clarity and prevent cancer. 

Additionally, rich in alpha-linolenic acid are hazelnuts (ALA). ALA is transformed into EPA and DHA by the body once it enters the system. Both of these are omega-3 fatty acids, which are good for the body's circulatory, nervous, and immune systems, among other functional systems. Their most notable advantages include preserving the health of blood vessels, lowering blood pressure, preventing mental illnesses like schizophrenia and depression, relieving allergies, and avoiding cancer.
