Hazelnuts, also known as filberts, are the nuts of the hazel tree, which is native to Europe, Asia, and North America. They are known for their rich, buttery flavor and are often used in desserts, pastries, and confections.
Hazelnuts are a good source of healthy fats, protein, and fiber. They also contain important vitamins and minerals, including vitamin E, magnesium, and potassium. They are also rich in antioxidants and phytosterols, which can help to lower cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of heart disease.
Hazelnuts are often used in baked goods such as cakes, cookies, and pastries. They can also be ground and added to breakfast cereals, granola, and energy bars. They can also be used to make hazelnut butter, which is similar to peanut butter and can be used as a spread or an ingredient in cooking or baking. Roasting them help bring out the nutty flavor and aroma of the nuts.
Hazelnuts can be stored in an airtight container in a cool, dry place for several months. They can also be kept in the refrigerator or freezer to extend their shelf life.
Approx. 3 1/4 cups per pound and 500 nuts per cup.
