Nutella begins in Turkey (who knew?) with the hazelnut, and Turkey's hazelnut crop has been affected by bad weather . . . a late spring frost! So stock up on Nutella while you can, you lovers of Nutella, as there are 50 hazelnuts in every pound of Nutella.
Finduk (hazelnuts) grow in my grandma's back yard in her village, Hamidiye, Gemlik, Bursa. I used to hide under the trees and keep eating! They are wrapped inside green leaves, and unlike the ones you see in the stores, they are not dark when they are fresh.
