About Ground hazelnut

Ground hazelnut is hazelnut kernels reduced to a meal or powder. It is usually pale tan to light brown, with a fine, slightly coarse texture and the characteristic sweet, toasted-nut aroma of hazelnuts. The exact texture depends on how finely the kernels are milled and whether they have been blanched or roasted before grinding.

It is used in baking, confectionery, fillings, and coatings, and may be sold as a fine flour-like meal or a coarser ground product. Ground hazelnut is not necessarily defatted hazelnut flour: ordinary milling retains much of the kernel's natural oil, while products made after oil extraction have a different composition and behavior.
