Did you know ? - rich in lipids, vitamins E, B1, B6, and especially oleic acid omega 9, hazelnuts are also rich in zinc, phosphorus, manganese and magnesium. Fresh or roasted, the hazelnut is a health partner not to be ignored.

In France, Aquitaine is the leading producer of hazelnuts, closely followed by Occitania, while the world champion remains Turkey.

- The hazelnut is one of the 13 traditional Christmas desserts in Provence. The Roman cook and gastronome Apicius already mentions, in his collection of recipes L'Art Culinaire, some recipes using hazelnuts (Sources: Passeport santé, wikipedia).
