Hazelnuts (Filberts)
(Hazelnuts (Filberts)) Hazelnuts grow in clusters on a shrub.  The nuts are covered with a prickly-haired husk, which can easily puncture the skin, but which the squirrels seem to be most adept at penetrating.  They are often used commercially in candy and baked goods.  See the nutritional chart below.

Vegan FlagThe above recipe is in keeping with God's creation intent (Genesis 1:29-31): 'Then God said, "I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food. And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds of the air and all the creatures that move on the ground-- everything that has the breath of life in it-- I give every green plant for food." And it was so. God saw all that he had made, and it was very good.' (NIV) Let no animal suffer or die that we may live!
