What it is
Hazelnut puree is made from ground roasted hazelnuts. Hazelnuts are tree nuts that grow on Corylus trees. The roasting process enhances their flavor and aroma before they are ground into a smooth paste.
Why it's used
Hazelnut puree is primarily used to add a rich, nutty flavor and creamy texture to foods. It is a popular ingredient in confectionery, baked goods, and spreads, often found in chocolate products, cookies, and nut butters.
Health notes
Hazelnut puree is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of healthy fats, protein, and fiber. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated hazelnuts and their components. While generally considered safe in typical food amounts, high consumption could contribute to excess calorie intake.
Allergen info
Hazelnuts are one of the 9 FDA major allergens (tree nuts). Therefore, hazelnut puree is considered a major allergen.
