Hazelnuts 1 article

Hazelnuts, also called filberts, are round tree-nut kernels with brown skins and a pronounced flavor that becomes especially aromatic after roasting. They are sold whole, blanched, chopped, or ground into butter and are widely used in baking, praline, and chocolate-hazelnut spreads; hazelnut oil is another processed form. The skin can be partly removed after roasting. Their compact round shape and characteristic pairing with chocolate help distinguish them from almonds or walnuts.
