Raw hazelnuts

Hazelnut is a type of nut that comes from the Corylus tree. It is mainly grown in Turkey, Italy, Spain and the United States. Hazelnuts have a sweet taste and can be eaten raw, roasted or ground into a paste. Like other nuts, hazelnuts are nutrient-dense and high in protein, fat, vitamins and minerals.

Hazelnuts are a rich source of vitamins and minerals such as vitamin E, manganese and copper. In addition, they are high in omega-6 and omega-9 fatty acids.

Hazelnuts are rich in phenolic compounds that have been shown to increase antioxidant protection in the body. It is best to eat hazelnuts whole and uncooked to ensure you get the highest concentration of antioxidants.

Hazelnuts may increase oxidative capacity and lower blood lipid levels, which may help reduce the risk of heart disease. They also seem to help normalize blood pressure. The high concentration of antioxidant compounds, vitamin E and manganese in hazelnuts may help reduce the risk of certain cancers, although more research is needed.

Hazelnuts can help prevent and reduce inflammation due to their high concentrations of healthy fats. However, other factors are also important. Hazelnuts contain several compounds that may help lower blood sugar levels. However, evidence is limited and their potential benefits need further study. Hazelnuts can be found whole, sliced, floured, raw or roasted. They are usually eaten as a snack or added to baked goods and other dishes. They are best eaten with their skin on.
