Hazel
📍 Av. d'Echallens 82, 1004 Lausanne, Switzerland
🗓 Season: August · September · October
🔍 When is it ripe?
Green husks turn brown and pull back from the nut; ripe nuts fall freely or shake loose. Gather before squirrels. Dry in a warm place for 1–2 weeks for best flavour. Catkins (male flowers) are edible in early spring.
Hazelnut trees, noisetiers, along the av. d'Echallens. Some trees in front of the migros st paul, some on the other side of the street in front of the halal butchery, some a bit further by the chemin de Fontannaz.
The trees are tall and hazelnuts fall on the sidewalk which is a dirty dog pee/cigarettes buds place (how great!) but thankfully the nuts have a super protection shell and are very tasty inside. No one got sick eating them ;)
I guess younger nicer nuts are to be plucked directly on the tree but it's pretty high and impossible to climb without a ladder.
They're property of the city of lausanne, so never harvested and free.
