the seed that built an empire by pretending it couldn't live without chocolate.
means The edible round nut of the hazel tree, prized for its sweet, buttery flavor and famously paired with chocolate in spreads and confections.
from From Old English æsel or hæsel, the name of the hazel tree, joined to "nut" — making it pleasingly literal: the nut of the hazel. The tree-word goes back to a Proto-Germanic root (a cousin of German Hasel and Dutch hazelaar) and is thought to share deep ancestry with Latin corulus, the hazel of the Romans. The "hazel" of eye color rides along on the same word, borrowing the nut's warm brown.
