The Hazelnut has been known from time immemorial. The Greeks and Romans ate the nut because of its exceptional flavour. The Hazelnut was used as medication in the old days.
Turkey, which is one of the few countries in the world with favourable weather conditions for hazelnut production, accounts for 75% of the global production and 70-75% of the exportation. Turkish hazelnut generally grows ripe between the beginning and the end of August, depending on the altitude of the field.
