Hazelnuts

Our hazelnuts are the whiteheart variety and come to you fresh from the grower. Hazelnuts have a lot of health benefits and are a slow release energy source to get you through the day. The hazelnut oil has a sweet nutty flavour and is ideal on salad, or dip your bread in the oil and then Dukkah, a crumbly spicey hazelnut mix.

Key benefits of hazelnuts: Hazelnuts are rich in vitamin E (helps form red blood cells, muscles and other tissues) and are a useful source of thiamine (enhances energy and promotes normal appetite) and vitamin B6 (aids protein metabolism and absorption). They are also relatively good sources of protein (essential for growth and repair of the body's cells), dietary fibre (helps the movement of the digestive tract), iron (essential for red blood cell function and enzyme activity), calcium (helps build bones and teeth) and potassium (helps regulate the body's fluid balance).Like other varieties of nuts, hazelnuts also contain significant amounts of phytochemicals. These compounds have antioxidant properties that protect the body against several types of cancer.
