The hazelnut is the fruit that the hazel tree bears (Corylus avellana). It is a bushy shrub that belongs to the Betulaceae family, and is native to the Northern hemisphere. Hazelnut has a delicate, subtle taste and has tremendous nutritional value. It is a fruit that bestows many great benefits for health.
With high levels of lipids and protein, hazelnut is a source of energy but it also contains a massive amount of vitamins, minerals and trace elements. It is a prime choice to include in vegetarian diets.
Since hazelnut is a very powerful antioxidant, it plays a part in reducing damage caused in the body by free radicals which are involved in triggering diseases such as cardiovascular diseases, certain cancers and illnesses due to ageing.
Hazelnut boasts high levels of mono-unsaturated acid that tends to lower the “bad” cholesterol.
A prime source for dietary fiber that are both soluble and non-soluble, hazelnut contributes to regulating intestinal transit. It helps prevent cardiovascular diseases and regulates certain types of diabetes.
Hazel leaves have vasoconstrictrive and anti-inflammatory activity. When used topically, decoctions prepared from hazel leaves (1 oz (30 g) leaves for 1 quart (1 liter) water) soothe pain due to varicose veins and veinous disorders, and contribute to soothing certain skin conditions. Astringent properties are often attributed to them, which helps soothe and regulate diarrhea.
