American hazel (Corylus americana)

The American hazel (Corylus americana), also known as American hazelnut or American filbert, is a plant native to North America. It is found primarily in the eastern and central regions of the United States, but also grows in Canada. This species of hazelnut generally grows in deciduous forests and in moist places near rivers where it has access to adequate light. It is characterized by a round silhouette and branches that spread widely at the top of the crown. Its nuts are fir and very popular due to their strong and distinctive flavor.

Products made from American hazelnuts are very popular and widespread. Among the most famous is hazelnut spread, which is popular all over the world. Nuts are also used to make chocolate, confectionery, pastries and muesli, as well as, for example, to make various types of nut liqueurs. Of course, hazelnuts are also used to make healthy and highly nutritious food supplements such as granola bars or protein powders. They are also an integral part in various types of teas and coffees. It is thanks to the American hazelnut that consumers can enjoy a wide range of products with a distinctive nutty flavour.
