cobnut

British hedge nut

A cobnut is a type of hazelnut, specifically the nut of the cultivated hazel tree.

The name refers both to the nut itself and the tree that produces it.

Cobnuts are rounder and larger than wild hazelnuts, traditionally eaten fresh in autumn when still green: We picked cobnuts from the hedgerow.
