But
let us, who are of the day, be sober,
putting
on the breastplate of faith and love;
and
for an helmet, the hope of salvation.
1 Thessalonians 5:8
Living in the land of
abundant hazelnuts caused me to take notice of this odd report in the recent
news. Just another weird world event of our unbridled society, yet this one
piqued my curiosity…is there something more here?
Chaos spreads in France as Nutella-loving customers battle to
get 70 percent off
The
tasty chocolate spread, Nutella, is
made from hazelnuts. It is one our family favorites. We have farm fields of
what is locally referred to as “filberts.”
Area stores and farmer’s market feature the Oregon produce. Trees in
general have been on my mind as Tu B'Shvat New Year for Trees
is approaching, so I decided to look further into these trees and their
nut “fruits.”
In 2014, world production of hazelnuts (in
shells) was led by Turkey at 63% of the world total,
followed by Italy, Georgia, the United
States, and Azerbaijan. In the United States, Oregon accounted for 99% of the nation's
production in 2014.
The flowers are produced very early in spring
before the leaves.
Hazelnut plant details:
Latin corylus, corulus
hazel or filbert shrub.
Greek word korys which
means "helmet" -
(a reference to the calyx which covers the nut).
In Casuarina, Juglans
and the order Corylaceae, the pollen-tube does not enter by means of the
micropyle, but passing down the ovary wall and through the placenta, enters at
the chalazal end of the ovule.
The
genus name • Corylus originates from the Greek word korys.
Greek
word Korys (“hat” or “helmet”),
and it certainly applies to the helmet-like husks of the hazelnuts.
and it certainly applies to the helmet-like husks of the hazelnuts.
As
I read the word “helmet” my mind was excitedly drawn to the word of God.
I
won’t view the harvest of these nuts in the same way now.
And
take the
helmet of

Turkey is the world's largest producer of hazelnuts, but Oregon is the largest US grower.
The name filbert probably derived from the German term vollbart (full beard) in reference to some hazelnut varieties in which the husk
entirely covers the nut.
About 70% of
the world’s hazelnut production comes from the Black Sea region of northern
Turkey. Italy produces about 20% of world production. Spain, France, Georgia,
Azerbaijan, and the United States produce most of the rest.
Building on the helmet study – the following video came out the
same time I was discovering the helmet and hazelnut connection. Many seek after God, but truth is found in
the living word and by the spirit of God. Salvation is through the sacrifice of
Jesus Christ alone.
