Not everyone understands that hazelnuts and forest nuts are different products.
If hazel is a natural forest nut and a wild shrub, then filbert is its cultivated and more productive type. But which is healthier?
Is there a difference?
So, hazelnut is a direct cultural relative of the forest nut.
They are similar in appearance, but hazelnuts are larger and store better, which is why they are valued by chefs.
100 grams of hazelnuts contain 15 grams of protein, 61 grams of fat and 17 grams of carbohydrates, almost 3 grams of dietary fiber and 0.1 grams of organic acids.
The same volume accounts for approximately 600-700 kcal.
It contains sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, iron, vitamins E, B1, B2 and PP.
If the nuts are fresh, they contain vitamin A, C and carotene.
The nut is good for digestion, the cardiovascular system, normalizing blood sugar, and strengthening the immune system.
In general, both nuts are similar in content, but the forest variety has a richer taste and higher nutritional value.
Hazelnuts, like any other products, can harm the body.
Contraindications
