Abstract

Hazelnut ( Corylus avellana L.) is a popular tree nut worldwide, and in recent years, the production of hazelnuts has increased in many countries due to large investments improving agricultural techniques and the selection of new cultivars. Turkey, the leader of global hazelnut production, has shown that supply can strongly fluctuate, which leads to peak prices and market instability. In this review, an overview of the morphological traits, nutritional value, fatty acid composition, tocopherols, and future prospects of hazelnut production are described. Furthermore, information regarding hazelnuts from different geographical origins (Chile, Croatia, Iran, Italy, Oregon (US), Poland, Portugal, Serbia, Spain, and Turkey; total of 22 cultivars) to enhance the utilization of hazelnut cultivars from newly producing orchards and origins is comprehensively summarized.
