Hazelnuts are sweet, and incredibly nutritious edible kernels from the 'birch' or Betulaceae family of trees. “Filbert” (C.maxima) is similar in kind and related to the common hazel but only differing in having its nut entirely covered within tubular involucre. In Britain, both of these nuts are in general enjoyed as 'cobnuts.'
Scientific name: Corylus avellana.
The hazel is a small deciduous tree originated in southern Europe and Turkey. It is now being cultivated in many regions of the world, including the USA as a major commercial crop.
