Raw Hazelnuts

Have you ever wondered what the earthy nutty taste basis in Nutella is made of? Some of you may already be familiar with Nutella’s secret ingredient: hazelnuts. Hazelnuts or filberts, these exotic hazel-coloured nuts have a unique taste and crunch that elevates any dish from ordinary to spectacular in flavours and texture.

Rich in proteins and minerals, raw Hazelnuts offer a lot of health benefits to humans. Therefore, we bring the most excellent quality Hazelnuts Kernels. Our Hazelnut Kernels are free from all kinds of chemicals and foreign substances.

General Information

The Hazelnut is the nut of the hazel tree, often known as filberts. Hazelnuts have the highest level of vitamin E, which is essential for maintaining healthy skin, nails, and hair and protecting against cognitive deterioration, inflammation, and fatty liver disease.

The flavour of hazelnuts is nutty and toasted, with hints of chocolate and earthy. Filbertone is a prominent flavour combination found in hazelnuts, a ketone that occurs naturally in hazelnut oil. It has a roasted, marbled, sweet, and lingering flavour.

The bean pyrazine is another significant chemical that contributes to the scent of hazelnuts. The aroma of this chemical has been described as pea-like, beany, earthy, chocolatey, and nutty.

Serving suggestions

It’s no secret that chocolate can taste much more delicious when paired with hazelnuts! This nut has a distinct flavour that goes well with dark chocolate.

Go ahead, add a bit of dark chocolate to the mix. Nibbling on a small amount of chocolate can keep stress, blood pressure, and circulation under control!

In addition to their vivid, sweet, and nutty flavour, Hazelnuts may offer a great crunchy texture to bakery products, including bread, muffins, brownies, cookies, cakes, and biscotti. They are also an excellent and nutritious addition to salads, pastries, dressings, sauces, and a tasty and healthy complement to snack foods.

This buttery, sweet flavour pairs well with many fruits, including apples, apricots, bananas, berries, peaches, cherries, citrus, figs, pears, and plums. Hazelnut works exceptionally well with chocolate and vanilla, so it is so commonly used in desserts like cakes, cookies, ice cream, and gelato.[3]

Storage 

It is best to process your nuts just before use. However, if you’d like to have hazelnuts ready for adding your dishes, only roast raw kernels, dice, and freeze in an airtight container apart from foods with strong odours. They will keep for over a year in the freezer, and you can get the amount you need, bring them to room temperature and use them immediately.
