Native to the Northern Hemisphere, hazels are a genus of big, fast growing shrubs and trees that grow hazelnuts. Hazelnuts are sweet and can be eaten straight from picking. They can also be roasted for a buttery flavour. With high elasticity and durability, hazelwood can be woven into baskets or fences. The leaves of a hazel are soft and covered in hairs with a serrated edge – they can be used as food for livestock and are edible for humans.
Hazel leaves have anti-inflammatory properties which could treat skin problems. They’re said to soothe pain associated with venous disorders (such as varicose veins). These leaves have astringent properties so are also said to regulate diarrhoea.
