Hazelnuts

Hazelnuts are the edible kernels of the hazel tree, widely used in Mediterranean and European cuisines for snacks, pralines, spreads (like gianduja) and ground into flours. They are known for their sweet, aromatic flavor and crunchy texture and are often toasted to deepen their taste. Nutritionally, Hazelnuts are rich in heart-healthy fats and provide plant protein and fiber; they are also a notable source of vitamin E at 15mg of vitamin E per 100 g, along with important trace minerals such as manganese and copper. As a snack or ingredient, Hazelnuts deliver concentrated energy and beneficial fats, so they contribute useful micronutrients and a good quality fat profile, but portion control is helpful because they are calorie-dense.
