NUTS - U.S. Oregon Hazelnuts In-Shell 2 lb | Whole Raw Unsalted Non-GMO, Fresh Buttery Taste

NUTS U.S. Oregon Hazelnuts In Shell are whole, raw, unsalted, non-GMO hazelnuts sold in their shells for freshness, a naturally buttery flavor, and easy cracking at home.

These Oregon-grown hazelnuts come unshelled and untreated so you receive whole kernels protected by their natural shell until you're ready to eat or cook with them. Packed in a 2-pound bag, they offer pantry-stable snacking, baking, and culinary use with no added flavors or preservatives. The shell keeps the nut fresher longer and provides a satisfying cracking experience that preserves aroma and texture.

How do these in-shell hazelnuts stay fresher than pre-shelled nuts?

The hard shell acts as a natural barrier against air, moisture, and light, slowing oxidation and helping the kernel retain its delicate, buttery aroma. Because the nuts are raw and unsalted, there are no added oils or seasonings that could shorten shelf life. Store them in a cool, dry place or refrigerate for the longest freshness.

• Natural shell protects kernels from environmental exposure
• Raw and unsalted—no added oils or flavorings
• Best stored in cool, dry conditions or refrigerated

What’s the best way to crack and use shelled hazelnuts in recipes?

Use a nutcracker or a lightweight mallet to split the shell open without crushing the kernel inside. Once shelled, hazelnuts can be toasted, chopped, or ground to add texture and flavor to baked goods, salads, sauces, and homemade nut butters. Light toasting develops a richer, more pronounced nuttiness.

• Crack gently with a nutcracker or hammer for intact kernels
• Toast 5–10 minutes at 325°F to enhance aroma
• Chop, grind, or incorporate whole in savory and sweet dishes

Are these hazelnuts suitable for dietary needs or cooking styles?

Yes—being raw, unsalted, and non-GMO makes them versatile for many diets, including vegetarian and vegan menus, and for people avoiding added sodium or flavorings. The whole, in-shell format gives you control over portion size and preparation method. Use them in raw recipes, roasted applications, confections, and as a crunchy topping for grain bowls and desserts.

• Raw and unsalted—suitable for low-sodium and whole-food diets
• Non-GMO sourcing supports ingredient transparency
• Ideal for both raw recipes and roasted preparations
