Hazelnut (also called by the name Corylus avellana) is a member of the birch plant and it is a particularly versatile nut due to the many different ways that it can used. The fraction of proteins present is relatively high (approx. 15%), with many of these proteins responsible for causing an allergy (for example Cor a 9 or Cor a 11).
