They were already eaten in Neolithic times in Mesopotamia, and nowadays we find them in numerous desserts and recipes.

They have a great many characteristics, from the ease of conserving them to their high contribution of proteins.

Today, we’re going to highlight their anti-inflammatory properties.

To start with, they have a large amount of vegetable fats, which are healthier and, unlike other lipids such as animal fats, do not cause inflammation. In fact, not only do they prevent inflammation, they can also be used to cure the symptoms once they appear. This is so much the case that in ancient times, they prescribed hazelnuts for poisonous stings because of the effect they had on the swelling caused by the toxins, and also for coughs, which often occur because of a throat inflammation.

They also help prevent sports injuries. This is not just because their proteins help improve muscle tissue, but also because their being rich in energy helps us withstand exertion, so don’t forget to keep some of our Natural Hazelnuts on you to improve your results.
