Hazelnuts

We are considered to be one of the prominent exporters and suppliers of Hazelnuts based in Delaware, United States. These nuts are also known as cobut or filbert nut depending on the type of nut they are. These nuts can be eaten raw, roasted or ground into a paste. The seed would have a thin brown skin which is sometimes removed before cooking.

Details :

• Hazelnut is the nut of the hazel and therefore includes any of the nuts deriving from species of the genus Corylus, especially the nuts of the species Corylus avellana.
• It is also known as cobnut or filbert nut according to species.
• A cob is roughly spherical to oval, about 15–25 millimetres (0.59–0.98 in) long and 10–15 millimetres (0.39–0.59 in) in diameter, with an outer fibrous husk surrounding a smooth shell.
• A filbert is more elongated, being about twice as long as its diameter. The nut falls out of the husk when ripe, about seven to eight months after pollination. The kernel of the seed is edible and used raw or roasted, or ground into a paste. Hazelnuts are also used for livestock feed, as are chestnuts and acorns. The seed has a thin, dark brown skin, which is sometimes removed before cooking.
