200g of Hazelnuts packed in our plant-based compostable packaging.
Hazelnuts are the edible nuts of the Corylus tree, commonly known as the hazel tree. They are small, round, and have a hard, smooth shell that is typically brown in color. The nut inside is soft, sweet, and slightly oily with a rich, nutty flavour. Hazelnuts are often sold either raw or roasted, with the skin still on or removed.
Hazelnuts are highly nutritious, offering a good source of healthy fats (especially monounsaturated fats), protein, fibre, vitamin E, and important minerals like magnesium, copper, and manganese. Their high antioxidant content, particularly in the skins, makes them beneficial for heart health, reducing inflammation, and improving overall well-being.
In cooking, hazelnuts are incredibly versatile. They can be used in both sweet and savoury dishes, and their rich, nutty flavour shines through in chocolates, desserts (like hazelnut cakes, tarts, and praline), and spreads (such as Nutella). They can be added to granola, oatmeal, salads, and baked goods like cookies and muffins. Roasted hazelnuts are often used as a garnish or topping for ice cream and other desserts. Hazelnuts are also pressed for their oil, which is a popular ingredient in cooking and cosmetics due to their light, nutty flavour.
