This hazelnut or cobnut, the kernel of the seed, is edible and used raw or roasted, or ground into a paste. The seed has a thin, dark brown skin which has a bitter flavour and is sometimes removed before cooking. The top producer of hazelnuts, by a large margin, is Turkey, specifically the Giresun Province.

Although C. cornuta is somewhat shade tolerant, it is more common in forests with fairly open canopies than denser ones. [7] However, it is intolerant of entirely open areas that get hot and dry. [5] Fire kills the above-ground portion of the shrub, but it resprouts fairly readily after fire from its root crown or rhizomes.
A nut is a fruit consisting of a hard or tough nutshell protecting a kernel which is usually edible. In general usage and in a culinary sense, many dry seeds are called nuts, but in a botanical context, "nut" implies that the shell does not open to release the seed (indehiscent).
To clean it properly, soak the arugula in cold water for a few minutes in a salad spinner, drain it and spin it. Repeat this process two or three times until all the sand drains from the lettuce.
