Hazelnut has a very ancient and fascinating history. Many writers, naturalists and historians have put forward different views about his homeland. Archaeological excavations prove that hazelnuts were part of the mesolithic diets around 10000 BC. Pieces of charred hazelnut shells were found at most of the excavation sites (8000-2700 BC). In Chinese written sources, it is stated that hazelnut, which is stated to be cultivated in China in 2838 BC, is one of the five sacred fruits bestowed by God on people.

The great historian of antiquity, Herodotus (490-425 BC), in his work called The History of Herodotus, writes that hazelnuts were grown in the east of the Black Sea, and also describes how hazelnut oil was extracted in ancient times. Obtaining hazelnut oil by placing the hazelnuts in a bag and squeezing them is similar to the methods used in obtaining oil from olives and hazelnuts in rural areas today.

The word hazelnut comes from the word "pontik", which is derived from "Pont Exinus", which was the name of the Black Sea in ancient times. It is recorded that the hazelnut was called "Pontos walnut" because it was brought from the shores of Pontos. Hazelnut has spread to Mediterranean, Middle East and European countries from the Eastern Black Sea by bringing its name together.

It has been a good source of food and healing for humans since prehistoric times. The great Turkish scholar Ibn-i Sina (930-1037) mentions hazelnut as a medicine used in various diseases in his work called “El Kanun Fi't-Tıbb”.

The nut comes from the Corylus tree. It is mostly grown in Turkey, Italy, Spain and the United States. It is mostly produced in Giresun, Ordu and Trabzon provinces in Turkey. It likes moist and humus soils. It has a sweet taste and can be eaten raw, roasted or mashed. Like other nuts, hazelnuts are rich in nutrients. In the composition of hazelnut, 55-60% oil, 14-16% protein, 11-12% carbohydrates, 4.5-5% water, 2% ash and minerals such as phosphorus, calcium, magnesium, manganese, zinc, iron and sodium, and also vitamins B1, B2 and E are found [1] [2] [3] [4].

Hazelnut oil is produced by cold pressing hazelnuts. Due to its many beneficial properties, it is used in personal care and cosmetic products as well as in food preparations and in the pharmaceutical industry.

Since it is absorbed quickly, it does not leave a greasy feeling, it is often used by massage therapists.

It offers many benefits thanks to the fatty acids it contains.
