Shelled hazelnuts are oilseeds with a sweet, slightly buttery flavor, and are very popular as a snack or in sweet and savory recipes. With a crunchy texture and mild aroma, they are a classic ingredient in products such as creams, chocolates, candies, cakes, pies, and granola, but they can also be used in salads, baked dishes, sauces, or eaten plain.

From a nutritional standpoint, hazelnuts are rich in monounsaturated fats, which help with heart health, as well as containing vegetable proteins, fiber, vitamin E — an important antioxidant for the skin and immune system — and minerals such as magnesium, calcium, and iron. They are also a source of phytochemicals with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.
