The 'Dnipro' hazelnut variety is a fast-fruiting tree that begins bearing fruit as early as the 2nd-3rd year after planting. An adult tree reaches a height of 5-8 meters, and the fruits form in clusters, making harvesting easier. Seedlings of this variety are typically about 1.5 years old at the time of sale.
This hazelnut variety is widely cultivated in Ukraine and is very popular due to its taste and health benefits. The nuts can be consumed both young and soft after removing the bitter skin, or in their mature raw form. They can also be roasted on a skillet without added oil, as the nuts themselves have an oily texture.
'Dnipro' hazelnuts are rich in vitamins and microelements, including significant amounts of iron, zinc, and vitamin C. Due to their low carbohydrate content, they are suitable for dietary diets and do not raise blood sugar levels, making them beneficial for diabetics and those seeking to lose weight. Additionally, regular consumption of hazelnuts strengthens the immune system and accelerates recovery after injuries and illnesses.
