At Willamette Farms, our hazelnut orchards grow in the same soil conditions and mild climate that make our apple selections such delicacies. Hazelnuts, also known as filberts, make a delightful snack. You can eat them fresh out of the bag or roasted in the pan, because they are the sweetest you'll find anywhere. They also make a great addition to almost any recipe.

Hazelnuts are a good source of potassium, magnesium, zinc, iron, calcium, and folic acid, and their oils are polyunsaturated -- a good source of HDL (the "good" cholesterol).
