Greetings from Zagreb.
It’s Lješnjaci season. Hazelnuts. Do you like hazelnuts? I’ve never seen them sold like this in the USA but they grow and are harvested here in Croatia. These lješnjaci are out of the shell and sold in net bags. .
“Corylus avellana. Hazelnuts are sweet with characteristic slight notes of musty and earthy. One of the significant flavor mixtures found in hazelnuts is fiber tone. Filbertone is a naturally occurring ketone found in hazelnut oil. It has a roasted, marbled, sweet, and long-lasting character”

I love hazelnuts.
sometimes you feel like a nut gcr
Yes on hazelnuts. I believe we used to call them “filberts” in this country but now I think hazelnuts is used. I love baking with them.
They are very nutty.
Love Hazelnuts, l never picked them, but have spent hours cleaning them from the prickly shell.
That’s a hard no for me.
Yes!
In Italy, hazelnut gelato was my favorite!
These are my favorite hazelnuts..I should buy some tomorrow.
We just passed a grove of hazelnut trees in Washington State
I don’t know that I’ve ever tasted a hazelnut.
Hazelnuts are so tasty. I remember them as a child as a Thanksgiving family treat.
I’m “meh” on hazelnuts. I prefer other nuts more.
