Hazelnuts 1000g

Hazelnut cultivation began more than 5,000 years ago. Today, hazelnuts are one of the most widely grown and consumed nuts in the world. The cream-colored, sweet-tasting nut is small and round with a pointed tip. Its thin, dark brown skin is slightly bitter, so some people like to remove it before eating. Hazelnuts are a great addition to salads, oatmeal, cereals, sandwiches, and other sweet and savory dishes. They are used in confectionery to make candies, chocolate, chocolate truffles, hazelnut paste products, cakes, and ice cream. In Germanic countries, hazelnuts are often used in the form of flour to prepare cakes such as the Linzer Torte.
