Walnut & Hazelnut Mix Calories

A medium serving of walnut and hazelnut mix is about 30 g. Portioning it into a small bowl rather than eating from a large bag makes it easier to enjoy the nuts without continually refilling.

Yes, a walnut and hazelnut mix contains omega-3, mainly from the walnuts. The amount varies with the walnut-to-hazelnut ratio, so a mix with more walnuts will generally provide more of this plant-based fat.

Store a walnut and hazelnut mix in an airtight container away from heat, light and moisture. Because both nuts contain oils that can turn stale, refrigeration is useful when your kitchen is warm or you are keeping the mix for longer.

Yes, you can freeze a walnut and hazelnut mix in a well-sealed freezer-safe container. Take out only what you need and let it come to room temperature while still sealed, which helps prevent moisture from collecting on the nuts.

Yes, a walnut and hazelnut mix can replace chopped walnuts or hazelnuts in many cookies, cakes and toppings. The flavour will be less predictable than using one nut alone, so consider whether both flavours suit the recipe.

A walnut and hazelnut mix can taste bitter if its nuts have become stale or rancid, though walnuts can also have a naturally sharper flavour. Discard the mix if it smells paint-like or unpleasantly sour rather than freshly nutty.

Yes, blend a walnut and hazelnut mix until the nuts release their oils and form a paste. Scrape down the sides as needed; the result may be more fluid than some single-nut butters because the blend’s proportions vary.

Raw walnut and hazelnut mix keeps the nuts’ original flavour and avoids extra roasting, while roasting makes them more fragrant and crisp. For even browning at home, roast the two nuts separately and combine them afterward.

Yes, a walnut and hazelnut mix works well as a crunchy topping for oatmeal or yoghurt. Add it just before eating rather than during cooking, so the nuts keep more of their texture and do not soften.
