The nut grown on the bushy hazel shrub or oriental hazel tree. Hazel nuts have a hard reddish brown shell. This smooth shell has a light colored cap. The small, round, pale gold nut, with its mild, sweet flavor, may be covered with a thin brown skin. Hazelnuts are very aromatic and flavorful. They are a main ingredient in praline.
