About Whole Hazelnuts
Hazelnuts, having a special combination of oil rich in oleic acid and vitamin E, are also rich in proteins, carbohydrate, beta-sitosterol and B1, B2 and B6 vitamins.
Also known as cobnuts or filberts, hazelnuts are good eaten raw but the flavour takes on a more mellow, sweeter character when they are roasted. Like almost all nuts, they have a high fat content, which means they'll go rancid pretty quickly if not stored correctly. Unopened packets of hazelnuts should be stored in a cool, dry place - they'll last for up to 3 months. Once opened, they should be kept in an airtight container.
Hazelnuts in their shells can be opened using a nut cracker. To remove the dark skin, place the nuts on a baking sheet in a single layer and bake on a medium heat for 10-12 minutes. They are ready when the skins begin to split and the kernels turn golden. Tip them into a clean tea towel and rub - the skins should come off quite easily.

Customer reviews
These hazelnuts are great. Perhaps a bit plainer than some other nuts (almonds / brazil nuts, etc.), but I think that's what makes them great - they just offer a plain, basic addition to a nut/seed mix. It's also so good to know what you're snacking on is really healthy, too!
By on I love being able to buy these hazel nuts in smaller or larger quanties depending on my needs at any particular time
By on Good for making my own fruit and nut mix. I don't always like the ready made mixes, but I love making my own.
