Hazelnut

Hazelnuts are high in protein, fat, vitamins, minerals, and fiber; beyond being an extremely delicious and nutritious snack, it is also widely used in the food industry, from bakery products to dietary bars. The high quality and unique flavor of Turkish hazelnuts keep it on the top of the list of choices from the world’s most recognized chocolate and candy brands.

The unique climate in Anatolia, particularly in the Black Sea region, provides the most favorable environment for the production of delicious and high-quality hazelnuts. As a natural consequence of that, Turkey accounts for 70 percent of global hazelnut production and 80 percent of global exports.
