Hazel and hazelnuts are, in general, the same plant, to be more precise, hazelnuts are a cultural relative of wild hazel. Received it by repeated crossing of several varieties of hazel.

Yes, how did you guess!? Today we will talk about what useful properties hazelnut oil has, and most importantly, where and how it can be used.

What is a miracle product?

In humans, hazelnuts have been used for medicinal purposes and in cosmetology since ancient times, as evidenced by historical finds.

Why do you think squirrels love hazelnuts so much? Hazelnuts are rich not only in proteins, they are several times superior in energy value to bread. And the oil that is produced from it supplies all this in a concentrated form. And it gives you the opportunity to fantasize with recipes for use.

For your information, oil is produced from an already cultivated plant, which has larger fruits than wild ones. And they call it hazelnut oil, hazelnut oil or hazelnut oil. How many names!

Composition of hazelnut oil

Below you can find its rich composition, useful for health and beauty. So, it contains:

• valuable trace elements (listed in descending order of quantity in content): potassium, phosphorus, calcium, sodium, iron, manganese, zinc, copper, etc.
• E - "vitamin of youth";
• B vitamins: B3, B1, B2;
• vitamins C and A;
• oleic, palmitic, stearic and other amino acids.

Hazelnut oil is quite high in calories: 899 kcal per 100 gr. Although all oils are high in calories, so there is nothing surprising here.

For its taste, it is used in dessert dishes. But I would not recommend adding it in large quantities. Moderation in the use of such nutritional supplements is the only way to benefit health and weight loss.

What is the benefit of hazelnut oil?

Now I will tell you why I fell in love with this product so much, and for what useful properties other people appreciate it so much. Here are its healing indications:

I want to tell you a secret about one interesting discovery made not so long ago. It turns out that this valuable product contains in its natural form such a rare substance as paclitaxel, which is known for its anti-cancer effects.

Harm and contraindications:

• It is contraindicated for everyone who suffers from obesity and intestinal disorders.

Application of hazelnut oil

What is the best way to consume and use this nutritious product?

1. For medicinal purposes

• For prevention, it can be consumed in a dessert spoon per day, during a meal.
• With varicose veins and rosacea, it is recommended to apply compresses, which will include a few drops of oil.
• Helps protect sensitive skin from hypothermia in winter and softens it after sunburn in summer.

2. In cooking

Eating will only increase your interest in this product.

The product can be added to dessert dishes for children, dressed with salads, used instead of butter for food, for example, in the preparation of regular mashed potatoes, sprinkled on dishes before serving to give them additional flavor and value ... Then continue on your own. Personally, I'm already drooling!

Remember that the greatest benefit to the body will be when using hazelnut oil in its raw form, without heat treatment.

3. For beauty

1. All the valuable substances contained in the oil will benefit your skin and hair. I have tested this myself! I liked the result of rubbing the oil into the scalp: my hair became even stronger and silkier.

2. They say that such procedures are also useful for eyelash growth. But I'll practice for a while, then I'll be able to say for sure whether this is true or a myth.

3. Friends, I can say something with complete confidence. After adding a few drops to a regular clay mask, I got a nourishing mask that I use for my face and neck. I recommend to everyone, the result is impressive!

4. If you use the oil as a massage, the skin becomes more toned and healthy, and also gets rid of stretch marks and (attention, ladies!) "orange" peel, as it is also called - cellulite.

5. I will share with you a recipe that my mother taught me and which can and should be used for oily skin.

A mixture of hazelnut oil with eucalyptus and sage oils, approximately in equal proportions, will relieve your skin of annoying acne and blackheads.

Separately, I want to say that according to Ayurveda, hazelnut oil endows those who use it with such qualities of character as stamina, firmness, calmness, honesty. Incorporate a nutritious hazelnut into your diet and become resilient and honest.

How to choose and store?

Remember that to get all the nutrients that are beneficial for both men and women, you should buy only 100% quality cold-pressed oil. Yes, it's not the cheapest, but it's worth the money.

How to store? The product should be stored in the refrigerator in a dark place, so it will retain its nutritional and energy value longer.
