A shelled hazelnut is the nut's edible kernel that has been removed from its hard outer shell. It is sold without the shell for convenience and can be eaten raw, roasted, or used in cooking and baking. The thin, dark skin is sometimes removed before eating because it can have a slightly bitter taste.
What it is: The sweet, creamy-colored kernel of the hazelnut, separated from its smooth, brown shell.
Why it's sold shelled: For convenience, making it ready to eat or use immediately in various dishes.
How it's used: It can be enjoyed raw, roasted to enhance its flavor, or used in a wide range of recipes, from snacks to baked goods and savory dishes.
Additional information: Some people prefer to remove the thin, dark skin after roasting by rubbing the nuts together, as the skin is mildly bitter.
