These hazelnuts—also called filberts or cobnuts—are cultivated in Washington State and Oregon, harvested with skins intact, and packed in Ashland, Oregon by Wilderness Poets. Certified USDA Organic, non-GMO, and free of added salt or sugar, the nuts arrive raw so you can snack on them, roast, grind into a meal, or use them in baking and cooking. The bulk 2-pound packaging is designed for home bakers, small food businesses, and anyone who prefers buying nuts in larger quantities for freshness and value.

How are these hazelnuts grown and processed?

These nuts are sourced from growers across the Pacific Northwest where cool, wet winters and mild summers favor hazelnut trees. After harvest, the nuts are hulled and shelled, leaving the thin brown skins on the kernels; they are not roasted or blanched so you receive them in raw form. Wilderness Poets handles final packaging in Ashland, OR, maintaining organic handling standards throughout.

• Grown in Washington State and Oregon — Pacific Northwest terroir
• USDA Organic certified and Non-GMO
• Hulled and shelled, skins retained, raw (unroasted)
• Packaged by Wilderness Poets in Ashland, Oregon

What can I use these raw hazelnuts for in the kitchen?

Raw hazelnuts are versatile: use them whole as a snack, chop or toast them for salads and desserts, grind into hazelnut meal for gluten-free baking, or blend into nut butter and spreads. Their natural skins add texture and a lightly bitter, earthy note that complements sweet and savory recipes alike. Because they’re raw, you control roasting level and flavor development at home.

• Snack straight from the bag or toss in trail mixes
• Roast or toast for enhanced aroma and crunch
• Grind into flour for baking or make nut butter
• Add to granola, salads, pastries, and confectionery

How should I store these hazelnuts to keep them fresh?

Hazelnuts contain natural oils that can turn rancid if stored improperly. Keep the sealed bag in a cool, dark place for short-term use; for longer storage, move nuts to an airtight container and refrigerate or freeze. Always use clean utensils to remove nuts from the bag to avoid introducing moisture or contaminants.

• Room temperature: up to a few weeks in a cool pantry
• Refrigerator: several months in an airtight container
• Freezer: up to a year for best freshness and flavor retention
• Use airtight containers or vacuum-sealed bags to protect oils

Are these hazelnuts suitable for people with dietary preferences?

Yes—these hazelnuts are USDA Organic, vegan, and free from added sugar and salt, making them suitable for many eating styles. They are naturally gluten-free but produced in facilities that may handle other tree nuts, so check packaging if you require strict cross-contact controls.

• USDA Organic, Non-GMO, and vegan-friendly
• No added salt, sugar, or preservatives
• Naturally gluten-free; verify allergen handling if needed
• Raw format allows personal dietary preparation (toasting, chopping)
