Talk:Hazelnut

Hello! I think it would be useful to include that around 99% of hazelnuts grown in the USA are grown in Oregon. While US hazelnuts are a minor contributor to global production, the degree of concentration in Oregon seems notable, and something that would be interesting to include after the USA's section in Production. It's also an important part of Oregon agricultural history. I've included this edit, and would appreciate any feedback as to its suitability. Thank you! Henyeet (talk) 20:40, 8 January 2023 (UTC)

See article in the Production section. Zefr (talk) 21:25, 8 January 2023 (UTC)

The hazelnut is the fruit of the hazel tree, including all nuts of the genus Corylus, especially those of the species Corylus avellana. Hazelnuts are used as a snack food, in baking and desserts, breakfast cereals such as muesli, confectionery, and also in combination with chocolate for chocolate truffles and products such as chocolate bars, Nutella and Frangelico liqueur. Hazelnut oil, pressed from hazelnuts, is strongly flavored and high in monounsaturated fat; it is used as a cooking oil and as a salad or vegetable dressing. Turkey is the world's largest producer of hazelnuts, accounting for 64% of total production in 2021. This photograph shows two whole hazelnuts alongside two kernels, one of which is peeled.

This revert was justified because the topic is minor content for a small global crop, WP:UNDUE, and was carelessly written with weak sources that are not WP:SCIRS reviews. The content and sources are speculation and mainly based on grower perspectives that are not peer-reviewed and do not meet WP:SECONDARY. Zefr (talk) 14:59, 2 November 2023 (UTC)

Would User:Mgelli/sandbox#Cropping system be an alternative to this section? On a page about the crop, the cropping system seems fairly important to me. I would add it to the cultivation section either before cultivars or before harvesting. I hope you can open the link to my sandbox, I'm new to Wikipedia and unsure how to link this kind of things.

Looks like a good, well-sourced edit. Suggest adding it to the article, as you propose. Zefr (talk) 20:26, 12 November 2023 (UTC)

Given that there is a section on hazelnut cultivation in ancient Scotland, would it add value to include information about roughly contemporaneous hazelnut diffusion in what is now British Columbia, Canada?

Cattenion made 6 edits to insert this source providing production data from Turkey over 2011-18. We have the UN data shown in the table, as used for nearly every food item article on Wikipedia. It's not clear what useful information can be provided to the article from such an outdated source. Wikipedia prefers publications within the past 5 years, example WP:MEDDATE, for which the FAOSTAT 2023 source qualifies. Zefr (talk) 20:41, 3 December 2025 (UTC)

The 58% of world total production by Turkey in 2023 can be calculated in one's head from the table data; it simplifies the presentation. Zefr (talk) 20:44, 3 December 2025 (UTC)

"cabidigitallibrary.org › doi › pdf › 10.5555 › 20220181379 1 about 63-67% of the world hazelnut production and export will have been provided by Turkey from 2019 to 2025." Cattenion (talk) 20:46, 3 December 2025 (UTC)

The source isn't available to view is shown on the returns page for a search "In 2023, Turkey hazelnuts 58% of total production." Cattenion (talk) 20:47, 3 December 2025 (UTC)

You state "out-dated" but 2023 is itself not the most recent - so fulfils the criticism out-dated Cattenion (talk) 20:49, 3 December 2025 (UTC)

Hazelnut and its by-products: A comprehensive review of nutrition, phytochemical profile, extraction, bioactivities and applications - ScienceDirect "Turkey is the world's largest hazelnut grower and producer (production of 665,000 tons in 2020), accounting for 75 % of the world's annual hazelnut production". The value of knowing the details of production is simply for those who are interested in Production specifically of hazelnuts. Providing historical information both helps people to understand the reality of the world not only since 1 year ago - the information never becomes out-of-date, because of the fact: history has / is valued. To state out-of-date is to devalue history-any sufficiently important information about history is interesting for those who are interested - your denial of the value isn't an absolutely true criticism it is simply a statement of your personal lack of appreciation of the interest. Cattenion (talk) 20:56, 3 December 2025 (UTC)

It just seems to me you are supressing the information without appreciating that making any possibly interesting information to the species by probability will through time cause someone who is uniquely interested in some information which the vast majority of people have absolutley no interest in - so that by following this principle - to provide the opportunity for anyone to read information the whole species intelligence will be benefitted so that all relevant members of human society could maximize intelligence therefore the good for the maximum people. Removing information doesn't cause this situation to occur. Cattenion (talk) 21:00, 3 December 2025 (UTC)

Please, no personal attacks. It's not appropriate to imply motive where none has been presented. Work collaboratively. cheers. anastrophe, an editor he is. 21:02, 3 December 2025 (UTC)

I wasn't intending to express an attack. State where you think I expressed some attack. Cattenion (talk) 21:06, 3 December 2025 (UTC)

"your denial of the value isn't an absolutely true criticism it is simply a statement of your personal lack of appreciation of the interest." That's just for starters. Unless you can read minds, you don't know what the other editor does or does not appreciate. The other editor provided policy-based rationale for his changes. Discuss content, not other editor's motives or interests. cheers. anastrophe, an editor he is. 21:15, 3 December 2025 (UTC)

That is simply an observation of a human situation where any one individual doesn't appreciate the interest of some other subject than their own interests - in any sitaution - for example any pre-university student chooses a subject: they don't chose the whole numerous other subjects because each and every student (if those students chose by interest only, not subject of study for finacial purposes only) doesn't appreciate the joys and genuine interestingness of the other subjects. That is what I meant to explain. Personal preference supercedes. Cattenion (talk) 21:21, 3 December 2025 (UTC)

It was not presented as an "observation", you specifically ascribed it to the other editor via "[...]your personal lack of appreciation[...]. Discuss edits, don't interpret or ascribe motive to other editors. This is a broad policy. cheers. anastrophe, an editor he is. 21:25, 3 December 2025 (UTC)

I found: Agriculture_in_Turkey#Nuts_and_oilseeds - the section states 70&. I havem't currently reviewed the source associated though. Cattenion (talk) 21:07, 3 December 2025 (UTC) Well the source is for 2022 so the statement at that article isn't accurate. Cattenion (talk) 21:13, 3 December 2025 (UTC)
