Hazelnuts are a very healthy snack and as I'm sure many of us know they make wonderful chocolate spreads. Hazelnuts get their name, unsurprisingly, from the Hazel Tree where they are harvested.
Hazelnuts are used primarily in confectionary and were popularised by the delicious dessert Praline, where they feature as the main ingredient. Hazelnuts are not just known for their desserts however, also being valued for their highly useful Hazelnut Oil.
