About Hazelnut kernel

A hazelnut kernel is the edible seed inside the hard shell of a hazelnut. Kernels are eaten whole or chopped, and are used in baking, confectionery, and savoury dishes. They may be sold raw or roasted, with the skin left on or removed.

The kernel is firm and crisp when whole, with a rich, sweet, distinctly nutty flavour; roasting makes its aroma more pronounced. Forms include whole, halved, chopped, and ground kernels. Paste and oil are separate processed products, not interchangeable with whole kernels.
