Research draft, second pass

A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description

Let an agent explain hazelnuts, relay botany, production, uses, nutrition and protected designations from agricultural and food sources, describe the products and origins the registry aliases name, route severe allergic reactions to emergency care, and distinguish hazelnuts from filberts as a naming variant, cobnuts, acorns and chestnuts.

The nut of the hazel tree, mainly Corylus avellana, a round nut in a hard shell, grown chiefly in Turkey, which produces the majority of the world supply, and in Italy, the United States and elsewhere, used raw, roasted, in pastes and spreads, confectionery such as hazelnut brittle and oils, with protected designations such as Nocciola Piemonte PGI, Nocciola Romana PDO, Nocciola di Giffoni PGI and Avellana de Reus PDO; hazelnuts are a common tree nut allergen and allergic reactions can be severe.

What it is for: Food and ingredient.

It can be explain botany and production; relay protected designations; describe products; route allergy emergencies.

What the second pass must settle

  • Should the protected designations be separate entries?
  • How should agricultural sources be linked?
  • The registry parent hazelnut appears to duplicate this entry; should the hierarchy be reviewed?
