COOKING TIPS

In the kitchen.

1To enhance flavor, toast hazelnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat or in an oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes until fragrant and lightly browned.
2After toasting, easily remove the papery skins by rubbing the warm nuts inside a clean kitchen towel.
3Grind raw or toasted hazelnuts to make hazelnut meal for gluten-free baking or blend into a paste for homemade chocolate-hazelnut spreads.
4Chop and use as a crunchy topping for salads, yogurt, oatmeal, or roasted vegetables.

STORAGE

Keep it fresh.

Store shelled raw hazelnuts in an airtight container in a cool, dark place (like a pantry) for up to 3 months.
For longer-term storage, refrigerate for up to 6 months or freeze for up to a year to prevent their natural oils from becoming rancid.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

How many calories and how much protein are in raw hazelnuts?

A 100g serving of raw hazelnuts contains approximately 628 calories and 15g of protein. While they are calorie-dense, they provide a significant amount of plant-based protein and essential healthy fats.

Are raw hazelnuts keto-friendly?

Yes, raw hazelnuts are keto-friendly. With about 16.7g of total carbs per 100g and a high fat content of 60.8g, they fit well into a low-carb or ketogenic diet when consumed in moderation.

What do raw hazelnuts taste like?

Raw hazelnuts have a mild, slightly sweet, and earthy flavor with a firm, crunchy texture. They are less intense than roasted hazelnuts, which have a more pronounced 'nutty' and toasted aroma.

How do you remove the bitter skins from raw hazelnuts?

To remove the skins, roast the nuts at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes, then wrap them in a clean kitchen towel and rub them vigorously. The friction will cause most of the papery, bitter skins to flake off.

How can I tell if raw hazelnuts have gone bad?

Spoiled hazelnuts will have a sour, chemical, or paint-like smell, indicating the oils have gone rancid. They may also appear shriveled, show signs of mold, or have an unpleasantly bitter taste.
