What are hazelnuts?

Cobnuts are fresh hazelnuts grown in the UK. They are harvested while the outer shell is still green and the nut is sweet and juicy and is sold between mid-August and October. The cobnut looks very distinctive with a green shell over the shell. The nut itself is medium sized and oval in shape; it is slightly sweet with a nice crunch. A cobnut is used like any other nut: eaten as a snack sprinkled on salads and folded into baked goods. A cobnut costs about double the price of other hazelnuts.
