Hazelnuts grow on the hazel bush of the birch family. The crunchy kernels are a popular snack and can also be used in a variety of ways in the kitchen. Our high-quality hazelnut kernels have an aromatic, nutty flavor and are particularly large.
Characteristics:
- Nutrients:
• Fats: Hazelnuts are particularly rich in healthy fats, especially monounsaturated fatty acids, which are good for the cardiovascular system. These fats help lower cholesterol and promote healthy heart function.
• Proteins: Hazelnuts contain plant proteins that are important for the body and can help build muscle and repair tissue.
• Fiber: They are also a good source of fiber, which aids digestion and helps maintain stable blood sugar levels.
• Vitamins and minerals:
• Vitamin E: Hazelnuts are an excellent source of vitamin E, which acts as a powerful antioxidant and protects cells from damage.
• B vitamins: They also contain B vitamins such as folic acid, which are important for cell division and growth.
• Minerals: Hazelnuts provide a good amount of magnesium, potassium, iron and zinc, which are necessary for various bodily functions, including supporting the immune system, muscle and nerve function and strengthening bones.
- Antioxidants:
• Hazelnuts contain antioxidants such as vitamin E, phenolic acids and flavonoids, which can protect the body from free radicals and reduce inflammation.
- Calorie content:
• Due to their high fat content, hazelnuts are relatively high in calories. However, they are nutrient-dense, meaning they provide many important nutrients per serving. A small handful of hazelnuts can help satisfy hunger and provide long-lasting energy.
- Taste and texture:
• Hazelnuts have a mild, sweet flavor with a slightly nutty and earthy note. Their texture is crunchy when raw or lightly roasted, but with longer roasting, they can develop a softer, more intense flavor.
Allergens:
• Allergy potential: Hazelnuts are a common food allergen, especially in people with nut or tree nut allergies. An allergic reaction to hazelnuts can range from mild to severe, and in rare cases, it can lead to anaphylactic shock.
• Cross-reactions: People who are sensitive to other tree nuts or certain fruits such as apples or cherries can also react to hazelnuts (cross-allergies).
Use of hazelnut kernels:
- Snacks:
• Hazelnuts can be enjoyed plain or roasted as a healthy snack. You can also add a little salt or spices to create a savory snack.
- Bake:
• Hazelnuts are a popular ingredient in cakes, muffins, cookies, and other baked goods. They can be chopped or ground to add a crunchy texture and nutty flavor to batters.
• Hazelnuts are an essential ingredient, especially in hazelnut cake or Nutella.
- Muesli and porridge:
• They are ideal as an ingredient in muesli, porridge or as a topping for yogurt to add a crunchy and nutritious component.
- Nut butter:
• Hazelnuts can also be processed into hazelnut butter, which can be used as a spread or in sauces and dressings. You can also use them in combination with other nuts such as almonds or cashews.
- Salads:
• Roasted hazelnuts go wonderfully in salads, especially in combination with green leaf salads, fresh fruit or cheeses such as goat cheese or feta.
- Smoothies:
• You can add hazelnuts to smoothies or shakes to add a nutty flavor and an extra dose of nutrients.
- Desserts:
• Hazelnuts are an ideal ingredient in desserts such as pralines, chocolate bars, cakes, or even ice cream. They add a crunchy texture and complement the flavor of chocolate perfectly.
- Savory dishes:
• Hazelnuts can also be used in savory dishes like curries or roasts to add a nutty, aromatic component. They pair well with chicken, lamb, or even savory quiches.
