Consumers are increasingly discovering the health benefits of tree nuts. Tree nuts, as a whole, are high in protein, healthy fats and other macro and micro nutrients. In 2018, BBC ranked almonds as the healthiest food in the world and walnuts at number 46. Hazelnuts, which are more of a niche product, were apparently not included in the survey. When compared to all other major tree nuts, hazelnuts are comparable to almonds in total health benefits. 

Here are a few recent articles on the health benefits of hazelnuts:
- Health Journal
- Healthline
​- Medical News Today
- Livestrong
- Stylecraze
- Medical Daily
- Reader's Digest

Hazelnut-chocolate spread Nutella was the number one condiment in four states - Connecticut, Massachusetts, New York and Virginia. In those states, Nutella beat out ketchup, peanut butter, mayonnaise, ranch dressing, and all other condiments. Read the article here.
