Organic Hazelnut

Organic hazelnuts are the nuts of the hazel tree, grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers. They are typically harvested in late summer or early fall. After harvesting, they are dried, shelled, and sometimes roasted to enhance their flavor.

Hazelnuts are often used whole, chopped, or ground in baked goods, confectionery, and breakfast cereals. They provide a rich, nutty flavor and a satisfying texture. They are commonly found in chocolate products, pastries, and granola.

Hazelnuts are recognized as safe by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. They are a source of healthy fats, fiber, vitamins, and minerals. JECFA and EFSA have evaluated hazelnuts and their components. Evidence suggests that regular consumption of tree nuts, including hazelnuts, may be associated with a reduced risk of heart disease.
