Turkish Type Hazelnut

Turkish Type Hazelnut

Round Hazelnuts


These are spherical hazelnuts with approximately the same length, width and thickness. These are of medium size and high quality. They have high seed yields (efficiencies), as well as high fat and protein rates. All types that can be easily separated from skin and whitened belong to this group. They are easily broken because of their circular shapes. In this group, Giresun Fat Hazelnut is the highest quality type in the world. Furthermore, Palaz, Mincane, Fosa, Kan, Cakıldak, Kara are in this group.

Pointed Hazelnuts


This is the type with the length a little longer than the width and the thickness. These hazelnuts produce more scrap when breaking. Therefore, they are mostly marketed in shells. They have types called Sivri and Incekara.


Almond Hazelnuts


This is the type with the length much longer than the width and the thickness. These are generally big and showy but have low quality. They are not legible for breaking and processing. They are consumed as snack, in shells and in undried form. They have two types called Circular Almond and Flat Almond.

Benefits of Hazelnut

Benefits of Hazelnut
Hazelnuts are not only valued for their ultra indulgent flavor and upscale appeal, but they are also one of the most nutritious nuts. They are an excellent source of vitamin E, dietary fiber, magnesium, and heart healthy B vitamins. They are also one of the highest natural sources of antioxidants.

Qualified Health Claim for Hazelnuts
Heart disease is the number one killer of men and women in many countries. It’s no wonder that people are in search of foods that are deemed “heart-healthy.” Researches also prove the benefits of this magical nut.
In 2003, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) of the United States approved a health claim that linked nut consumption to a reduced risk of heart disease. The claim states:

“Scientific evidence suggests, but does not prove, that eating 1.5 ounces per day of most nuts, such as hazelnuts, as part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol, may reduce the risk of heart disease.”

Heart Health and Good Fats
Hazelnuts are a rich source of nutrients that have cardioprotective benefits. These nutrients include vitamin E, B vitamins and arginine (an amino acid that relaxes blood vessels). Hazelnuts also have one the lowest percentages of saturated fat (along with pine nuts and almonds) and one of the best nut sources of heart healthy mono- and polyunsaturated fats. Researches have shown unsaturated fats can lower blood cholesterol and help decrease the risk of cardiovascular problems.

Vitamin E
Vitamin E has been touted as an important antioxidant that may have cardioprotective benefits. The newly revised food guidance system, known as MyPyramid, specifically lists hazelnuts as one of the richest sources of vitamin E and the guidelines suggest choosing hazelnuts more often to help meet vitamin E recommendations. Besides its nutritional value, hazelnuts, rich in Vitamin E increase the sexual power.

Antioxidants
Hazelnuts are one of the highest natural sources of antioxidants among “superfoods” and are one of the most antioxidant-rich nuts. Foods rich in antioxidant content mop-up free radicals in the blood stream that can eventually lead to serious diseases.
Hazelnuts also have one of the highest Proanthocyanidin (PAC) contents among ”superfoods” and the second highest among nuts. PACs are known to have antioxidant capabilities 20 times more powerful than vitamin C and 50 times more potent than vitamin E. The antioxidants found in PACs may have the ability to strengthen blood vessels, suppress platelet stickiness in arteries, reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease, delay the onset of dementia and lower blood pressure.
