In this article, we’ll tell you why hazelnuts are much more than just a tasty nut. Small, crunchy, and with an unmistakable flavor, hazelnuts are full of properties that make them a jewel for health… and for the palate.

Rich, nutritious, and satisfying. Hazelnuts are an excellent source of healthy fats, especially monounsaturated fats, similar to those in olive oil. These fats are heart-friendly, help regulate cholesterol, and provide clean and lasting energy.

Additionally, they are loaded with vitamin E, a potent antioxidant that cares for the skin and fights cellular aging. They also provide minerals such as magnesium, phosphorus, and calcium, essential for the nervous system and bones.

Their content of fiber and plant protein makes them very satisfying, which helps control appetite naturally, without resorting to processed foods or added sugars.

How to Enjoy Hazelnuts

You can eat them raw or roasted (without added salt, preferably), add them to yogurt, salad, or your baking recipes. They also pair wonderfully with dark chocolate or dried fruits like banana or mango.

A good idea is to have a small handful prepared as a mid-morning snack, or even as a topping for your breakfast. They are versatile, easy to carry, and last a long time if stored properly.

And if you’re feeling adventurous, at Kiosco Marita we have raw, roasted, and even ground hazelnuts, perfect for homemade baking or to add a special touch to your dishes. We’ve been bringing you quality nuts since 1966, with the taste of always!
