Hazel is found in Europe, Asia Minor and the Caucasus, in Norway and Sweden. However, you can also find them at higher altitudes in the Alps, in Carinthia and Macedonia. Hazelnuts used to grow on wooded plains in our country and were a part of St. Nicholas Day and Christmas Eve treats. They contain about 21% protein, 62% fat and are alkalising.

They strengthen and moisturise, supporting the function of the stomach and spleen. They are suitable for loss of appetite, sleep problems and constipation – they moisturise the mucous membranes of the large intestine. They have a sweet taste and a refreshing nature.
