Today marks the first day of the first annual Wisconsin Hazelnut Week. The Upper Midwest Hazelnut Development Initiative has put together events to help folks learn more about growing and harvesting hazelnuts. Jason Fischbach is the Initiative director and an Extension specialist. He explains hazelnuts are a multi-use crop. The kernels, oils and meal can be used in a broad range of food products like edible oils, spreadable nut butters, nut flours and confections. With so many uses and so many markets, hazelnuts will provide many economic opportunities for growers and processors, he says.
