Notes for recipes that don't account for the uniqueness of Midwest hazelnuts:
- Many hazelnut recipes (not on this page) instruct you to remove the hazelnut skin. However, the skin on Midwest hazelnuts does not have the bitterness or flakiness of other hazelnut varieties. Save yourself the time and the extra antioxidants by keeping the skins on!
- Hazelnut oil is fabulous and decadent. You may substitute it for olive oil in any recipe. It has a higher smoke point and half the saturated fat, but is otherwise interchangeable.
- Midwest hazelnuts are smaller in size than other hazelnut varieties. If a recipe calls for chopping the hazelnuts, decide for yourself if you'd prefer the nuts chopped or whole. For dishes like salads and granola, the bite-size Midwest hazelnut works perfectly whole.
- AHC hazelnut flour is defatted, yielding a higher protein, finer grained flour than typical nut meals. Add nuttiness and nutrition to any cookie or cake recipe by substituting 1/4 of the called for flour for hazelnut flour.
