A hazelnut is the small, round, edible nut that grows on a hazel tree or bush.
Simply “hazel” plus “nut,” directly naming the nut from the hazel plant. Both parts are old Germanic words that have stayed very stable.
Hazelnuts are the star in many chocolate spreads and pralines, which is why that flavor feels so luxurious. They’ve been eaten since ancient times, long before anyone thought of Nutella.
