Frequently Asked Questions About Crushed hazelnuts
What can you use crushed hazelnuts for?
Crushed hazelnuts work as a topping for porridge, yogurt, salads, and desserts, or as an ingredient in cakes and cookies. Their small pieces spread more evenly through batters and fillings than whole hazelnuts do.
How do you toast crushed hazelnuts without burning them?
Toast crushed hazelnuts in a dry pan over low to medium heat, stirring constantly. Their small pieces brown quickly, so take them off the heat as soon as they smell nutty; they can continue to darken briefly in the warm pan.
How should you store crushed hazelnuts?
Keep crushed hazelnuts in an airtight container in a cool, dark, dry place. Once opened, seal the container well; chopped nuts lose their fresh aroma and can turn rancid faster than whole hazelnuts because more of their surface is exposed.
Can you freeze crushed hazelnuts?
Yes, crushed hazelnuts freeze well. Pack them airtight, ideally in portions you can use at once, and take out only what you need. This helps protect their flavor and avoids repeatedly thawing and refreezing the whole batch.
How do you make crushed hazelnuts at home?
To make crushed hazelnuts, chop whole hazelnuts with a sharp knife or pulse them briefly in a food processor. Use short pulses and check the texture often; blending continuously can release their oil and turn the pieces into a paste.
Are crushed hazelnuts the same as ground hazelnuts?
No. Crushed hazelnuts are small pieces that retain some crunch, while ground hazelnuts are much finer and may approach a meal-like texture. Choose crushed nuts for visible texture and ground nuts when a recipe needs a finer, more evenly blended ingredient.
Can crushed hazelnuts replace whole hazelnuts in baking?
Yes, crushed hazelnuts can replace whole ones when a recipe calls for chopped nuts or a more even distribution. They are not a direct texture substitute when the recipe depends on whole hazelnuts for shape, a firm bite, or decoration.
Do you need to peel crushed hazelnuts before using them?
No, the thin brown skins on crushed hazelnuts are edible and usually need no preparation. If you dislike their slightly bitter taste, rub the hazelnuts after lightly toasting them, before chopping, to remove some of the loose skin.
Can you eat crushed hazelnuts raw?
Yes, crushed hazelnuts sold as food can be eaten raw; toasting is optional. Raw pieces are easy to add to cereal, yogurt, or salads, while toasting brings out a stronger, warmer hazelnut flavor.
Do crushed hazelnuts help with weight loss?
Crushed hazelnuts do not cause weight loss on their own. Their fat and fiber can make a meal more satisfying, but they are energy-dense, so using a modest topping in a balanced meal is more practical than eating them freely.

What is Crushed hazelnuts?
Crushed hazelnuts are shelled hazelnut kernels broken into small pieces, ranging from coarse to fine. They have a sweet, nutty flavour and a pleasantly crisp texture, and are widely used in baking and cooking wherever hazelnuts are enjoyed.
Sprinkle them over porridge, yoghurt or fruit, or fold them into biscuits, cakes and chocolate desserts. They also add crunch to salads and savoury dishes. Crushed hazelnuts are rich in fats and fibre and provide vitamin E, so a little goes a long way. Add them just before serving for the best crunch, or toast them briefly to bring out their aroma.
