Edible uses[edit]

Chocolate cake with hazelnutsHazelnuts are used in confectionery to make some pr

alines, in chocolate for some chocolate truffles, and in hazelnut paste products
. In Austria (especially Vienna), hazelnut paste is an ingredient in the making
of tortes (such as Viennese hazelnut torte) which are famous there. In Kiev cake
, hazelnut flour is used to flavor its meringue body, and crushed hazelnuts are
sprinkled over its sides. Dacquoise, a French dessert cake, often contains a lay
er of hazelnut meringue. Hazelnut is a primary ingredient of the vodka-based liq
ueur frangelico. Hazelnuts are used abundantly in Turkish cuisine especially on
the Pontic coast of Anatolia. In Georgian cuisine, traditional snack churchkhela
and sauce satsivi are often cooked with hazelnuts (along with walnuts).[11]
Hazelnut-flavoured coffee seems (to many users) to be slightly sweetened and les
s acidic, though the nut is low in natural saccharides.[citation needed] The rea
son for such perception is not yet understood.
Over 2,000 tonnes are imported annually into Australia, mostly to supply the dem
and from the Cadbury-Schweppes company. Hazelnut oil pressed from hazelnuts is s
trongly flavoured and used as a cooking oil.
The nuts may be eaten when fresh or when dried: the taste is distinctly differen
t.[12]
Health benefits[edit]Hazelnuts have a significant place among the types of dried
nuts in terms of nutrition and health because of the composition of fats (prima
rily oleic acid), protein, carbohydrates, vitamins (vitamin E), minerals, dietar
y fibre, phytosterol (beta-sitosterol), and antioxidant phenolics[13] such as fl
avan-3-ols.[14]
