Red and peeled hazelnut kernels in medium and large sizes

Hazelnuts have a rich, nutty flavor with a slightly sweet undertone. They are often described as buttery and earthy with a hint of chocolate. Roasting hazelnuts enhances their flavor, bringing out caramelized notes and adding depth to dishes.
Also known as filberts, cobnuts, and hazels, hazelnuts are edible nuts from roughly 15 species of shrubs and trees belonging to the birch family. Hazelnuts are often found in pastries and chocolates as well as in nut butters such as Nutella.

Hazelnuts can be used in sweet recipes such as praline, and they pair well with chocolate. They are also tasty in nut crusts, salads, specialty butters and vegetables.
