NUTS - U.S. Oregon Hazelnuts, Jumbo Raw Unsalted Kernels — Steam‑Pasteurized, 1 lb Resealable Bag

NUTS U.S. Oregon Hazelnuts are jumbo, raw and unsalted filbert kernels—steam‑pasteurized, non‑GMO, and packed fresh in a 1 lb resealable bag.

These Oregon‑grown hazelnuts deliver rich, naturally sweet flavor and a firm, crunchy texture without added salt or oils. The kernels arrive shell‑free for immediate use in baking, snacking, or meal prep, and steam pasteurization preserves taste while meeting food‑safety standards. Packaged in a resealable pouch, they stay fresher longer whether you keep them in the pantry or refrigerate for extended shelf life.

What makes these Oregon hazelnuts different from grocery‑store nuts?

Oregon hazelnuts are cultivated in a region renowned for filbert quality, producing larger-than-average kernels with a dense, buttery bite. NUTS U.S. selects jumbo grade nuts and provides steam pasteurization rather than chemical treatment to maintain flavor integrity.

• Jumbo kernel size for noticeable texture in recipes
• Raw and unsalted, offering control over seasoning and sugar
• Steam pasteurized to reduce microbial risk while retaining aroma
• Non‑GMO and packed in the USA for traceability

How do I use raw, unsalted hazelnuts in cooking and baking?

Raw hazelnuts are versatile: chop and toast them for granola, pulse into butter, or fold whole into baked goods for crunch. Toasting intensifies the nutty flavor and loosens skins, and you can grind them to create gluten‑free crusts or add as a topping to yogurt and salads.

• Toast 8–10 minutes at 325°F to deepen flavor
• Pulse in a food processor for homemade hazelnut meal or butter
• Use whole in cookies, biscotti, or as a salad garnish
• Blend into smoothies for texture and healthy fats

How should I store these hazelnuts to keep them fresh longer?

Keep hazelnuts in their resealable bag and store in a cool, dark place for short‑term use. For longer preservation of crunch and aroma, transfer the sealed bag to the refrigerator or freezer—cold storage slows oil rancidity and extends shelf life by months.

• Pantry: up to 2–3 months in a cool, dry cabinet
• Refrigerator: 6–12 months for best flavor retention
• Freezer: up to 12–18 months in airtight packaging
• Always reseal bag tightly after each use to limit air exposure

Are these hazelnuts suitable for dietary and allergy considerations?

These are raw, unsalted, non‑GMO hazelnut kernels with no added ingredients, making them a simple whole‑food choice for many diets. However, they are tree nuts and should be avoided by anyone with tree‑nut allergies; check with your healthcare provider for personalized advice.

• Non‑GMO and free from added salt or oils
• Single‑ingredient product—hazelnut kernels only
• Not safe for people with tree‑nut allergies
• Works in vegetarian and many plant‑forward diets
