About Hazelnuts

Hazelnuts are the edible nuts of the hazel, usually sold either in their hard shells or as shelled kernels. They are eaten as a snack and used whole, chopped, or ground in baking, confectionery, and savoury cooking. Retail forms include raw and roasted nuts.

Shelled kernels are firm and crisp, with a rich, sweet, nutty flavour; roasting deepens their aroma. The word may refer to in-shell nuts or to the edible kernels, so those forms should not be treated as identical in food descriptions or measurements.
