Hazelnut Meal

Hazelnut meal, also known as hazelnut flour, is a finely ground powder made from whole hazelnuts. It is a popular gluten-free and grain-free alternative to traditional wheat flour. Rich in nutrients like healthy fats, protein, fiber, and minerals, hazelnut meal adds a unique nutty flavor and delightful texture to a variety of baked goods, such as cookies, cakes, breads, and macarons, as well as a superb choice for coating meats or fish for extra crunch. In addition to its exceptional taste, incorporating hazelnut meal into your recipes offers various health benefits. It is an excellent source of vitamin E, essential for maintaining healthy skin and a strong immune system, as well as mono- and polyunsaturated fats that support heart health. Its versatility and nutritional advantages make it a must-have ingredient for both conventional and gluten-free home cooks.

Hazelnut Meal FAQ
When cooking with hazelnut meal, people often find themselves unsure of how much to use, especially when substituting more traditional types of flour. A common mistake is to substitute it one-to-one for wheat flour, which can result in dense or dry baked goods due to its higher fat and lower gluten content. To get the most out of hazelnut meal, it's frequently recommended mixing it with other types of flour; a general guideline is to use it for about one-fourth of the total flour content. Furthermore, as hazelnut meal can brown quickly, it's recommended reducing baking time or temperature accordingly to prevent overcooking or burning. A less known tip about hazelnut meal is that it can add a rich, nutty flavor to savory recipes like breading or crusts for meats or vegetables.

Expiration & Storage Tips
When does hazelnut meal expire?
Unopened and stored properly in a cool, dark place like your pantry, hazelnut meal should last up to 12 months. If kept in the refrigerator, unopened, it can extend its freshness for another 6-12 months. Once opened, it's best to consume it within 1-2 months, regardless of refrigerator storage. Make sure to store in a dark, cool environment. If previously frozen, hazelnut meal can last 1-2 months in the refrigerator after thawing. Please keep in mind that the ‘best by’ date on the package is merely an indicator, not a hard rule. Freshness can vary based on the storage condition.
How do you tell if hazelnut meal is bad?
Spoilage of hazelnut meal is usually pretty easy to notice. First, look for any mold which is a definite sign of spoilage. If it seems fine based on its looks, next rely on your sense of smell and taste. Spoiled hazelnut meal will exhibit a sour or rancid smell, not its typical nutty aroma. When tasting a small amount, if the flavour is bitter or off it's best to discard it.
Tips for storing hazelnut meal to extend shelf life
• Store your hazelnut meal just like you would store other flours or meals, in a cool, dry place. Keeping it in a dark pantry or cabinet is ideal. • After opening the package, make sure to reseal it tightly to prevent air from getting in. You can even use a clip or a storage container to ensure it's properly sealed. • If you live in a warm or humid climate, or once the package is opened, consider storing hazelnut meal in a refrigerator or freezer to extend the shelf life. Remember to bring it to room temperature before using in your recipes.
