Hazelnut Production By State in the USA

edit

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!

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 The content and sources are speculation and mainly based on grower perspectives that are not peer-reviewed and do not meet WP:SECONDARY.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)Reply

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)Reply
