What Are Organic Hazelnuts?

Hazelnuts are a very healthy snack and as I'm sure many of us know they make wonderful chocolate spreads. Hazelnuts get their name, unsurprisingly, from the Hazel Tree where they are harvested.

Hazelnuts are used primarily in confectionary and were popularised by the delicious dessert Praline, where they feature as the main ingredient. Hazelnuts are not just known for their desserts however, also being valued for their highly useful Hazelnut Oil.

Why Should I Get Organic Hazelnuts?

Hazelnuts and Pecans are the nuts to beat if we're dealing with desserts, but did you know they contain more vitamin E than any other nut? Vitamin E maintains the healthy appearance of skin, nails and hair! So Hazelnuts will help keep you looking fab!

Vanity aside, Hazelnuts are also a splendid source of B vitamins, which regulate the metabolism and digestion of potassium, calcium and magnesium. Vitamin B also regulates the digestion of healthy fats, which lower levels of bad cholesterol.

Hazelnuts are a particularly recommended snack for pregnant women, because they contain folic acid which is essential for the normal development of the child.

So hazelnuts should be especially valued, for their sensational flavour, for the amazing desserts they make possible and above all for their many significant and valuable health benefits.
