Plural of filbert; multiple hazelnuts or hazel trees, especially the cultivated varieties.
Plural form of 'filbert,' which derives from Saint Filbert. The term has been used since the Middle Ages to refer to these nuts.
Oregon produces over 99% of America's filberts today, and the industry is so significant that the state nearly made the filbert its official nut—it's a multi-million-dollar crop from a tree named after a saint nobody remembers.
