Hazelnut
We found hazelnuts throughout Europe, western Asia and northern Africa. Nevertheless, 75% of world hazelnut production comes from Turkey. These are mainly in our store, since Greek hazelnuts are scarce. Hazelnuts come out on the market in August.
The best hazelnuts are those that are not bitter and brown.
Nutritional value:They are very rich in fat and mainly in "good" monounsaturated. They give us proteins and carbohydrates, B complex vitamins, as well as trace elements such as potassium, magnesium and phosphorus.They are also rich in vitamin E which is very good for the skin while reduces the risk for dementia.
