9. Strengthens Muscles Hazelnut is a source of magnesium. Magnesium plays a very important role in regulating the amount of calcium entering and leaving the body. The right amount of calcium creates muscle contractions and allows the muscles to rest when they are not needed. This way, magnesium reduces muscle tension and combats muscle fatigue, spasm, cramping and pain. High magnesium levels also help increase muscle strength. Magnesium is also good for heart muscles.

The common name of the shrub and tree species that form the Corylus genus from the hazelnut, birch (Betulaceae) family. Plants that grow in temperate regions of the northern hemisphere, shruby or low, single domed, male and female flowers on separate trees, in separate places.
The male flowers of hazelnuts are caterpillars. Hazelnut (Coryllus avellana); Alm. Haselnuss (f), Fr. Noisetier (f), Eng. Hazel-tree. Family: Birches (Betulaceae) Where it grows in Turkey: Eastern Black Sea region (Ordu, Trabzon, Giresun); Zonguldak, Bolu. It likes moist and humus soil where winters are mild. It requires 1000-2000 cubic meters (m3) of rainfall per year. Plants that grow in temperate regions of the northern hemisphere, shruby or low, single domed, male and female flowers on separate trees, in separate places. The male flowers of hazelnuts are caterpillars. Female flowers are small in separate tree and buds. Generally, flowers open before the leaves. The leaves are round, oval or heart-shaped, hairy, and the leaf edges are toothed. Harvesting of the mature hazelnuts from the sepals of the female flowers is in July and August. The hazel tree grows up to 15-20 m, as well as in the form of a bush, depending on the species.
Most of the cultivars are 3-4 m tall. However, it is grown as a single-stem tree in some countries. Hazelnut tree roots do not go too deep. There is no taproot. They shed their leaves in the winter. Most of the hazelnut varieties are self-sterile. In other words, better efficiency is obtained with foreign fertilization. Hazelnuts rest for a year and bear fruit for a year. This is called periodicity. Although there are about 15 types of hazelnut, the species that are important in terms of fruit growing and cultivated economically are C. avellana (Ordinary hazelnut) -C. Colurna (Turkish hazelnut) and C. maxima (Lambert hazelnut). Although wild hazelnut species are seen in the temperate climate zone of the Northern Hemisphere from Japan to North America, the homeland of cultivated hazelnuts is the eastern part of the Black Sea coast. It was taken from here during the time of the Romans and started to be grown in other Mediterranean countries. Hazelnuts are named according to the size and shape of the fruits. The main types of culture grown in our country; chubby hazelnuts, pointed hazelnuts, almond hazelnuts, blood hazelnuts and pistachios. Shelled hazelnuts are 1.5-2.5 cm long and their internal yield is around 50%.
Hazelnut tree is a humid, mild climate plant. The main areas where hazelnuts are grown in our country are between 40-41 latitude and 37-40 longitude. Within these boundaries, the most favorable areas in terms of ecological conditions are the Black Sea coasts. On this coast, following the valleys of hazelnut agriculture, it expands up to 60 km from the coast towards the inland, and also reaches a height of 750 m from the shore. Hazelnut tree develops well in loamy humus soils rich in nutrients and yields abundant crops. It does not like dense heavy soils, dry and calcareous soils. It does not give better fruit in soils with high base water, its yield is less. In our hazelnut regions, 20-125 kg of hazelnuts can be taken per decare depending on the soil structure and the region. More yield is obtained in the valleys facing the south. Hazelnut tree is mostly produced with root shoots. Numerous rooted sprouts can be obtained in the leaves by peak dipping. Root shoots to be used as seedlings should be between 1-3 m. While removing these shoots, efforts should be made to remove them with plenty of roots. The dismantled ones should be planted in their places immediately, if this is not possible, they should be ditched. The furnace with high efficiency should always be preferred when removing the root slide.
Hazelnuts can be planted in the autumn, as well as in the spring in February and March. Autumn planting should be preferred. Hazelnut saplings are planted with 4x4 m, maximum 6x6 m intervals. Usage Areas The hazelnut kernel contains on average 4% water, 65.4% oil, 15.6% protein, 2.6% cellulose, 0.98% nitrogen-free extracts and 1.55% ash. It is an important nutrient in terms of proteins. Hazelnuts are also a good source of vitamins. It has the most vitamin B vitamins. There are 0.54 mg of B vitamins in 100 grams of hazelnut kernels, as well as a small amount of vitamins A and C. Its ash contains 0.29% Ca, 35% P and 0.0041% Fe. 1000 grams of hazelnut, which is a rich nutrient, provides 725 calories. Hazelnut fruit is consumed in large quantities as nuts, but it is also widely used in pastry, halvah, confectionery and especially in the chocolate industry. It is used as fuel from its shell.
Hazelnut oil is also used in pharmacy and fragrance. In terms of production of hazelnuts, Turkey takes the first place in the world. The yield per hectare alone is very low. Good care, fertilization and pest control, pruning etc. It is possible to double or even triple the yield, which is 400-500 kg per hectare. Other countries have achieved this. Thus, the amount of foreign currency to be obtained from hazelnuts, which will rank first among our export products, will also increase. Efforts to increase the production of hazelnuts, which are the only source of income of many regions, are gaining great importance day by day. The biggest hazelnuts in the world
