Raw Hazelnuts

Raw hazelnuts are the small, round nuts of the hazel tree, offered here unroasted and sold by the kilo. They can be eaten as a snack, or toasted at home in a pan or oven to bring out their flavour. In the kitchen, hazelnuts are often chopped or ground for cakes, biscuits and pastries, blended into homemade spreads, scattered over salads and yoghurt, or mixed with other nuts and dried fruit. You can find raw hazelnuts at Dekenet Al Nes in Baaqline, in the Chouf. Dekenet Al Nes is a package-free grocery store and a solidarity initiative that aims to keep basic goods affordable while reducing environmental costs. Customers are encouraged to bring their own jars, bags or containers and fill them with the amount they need, cutting down on plastic waste and single-use packaging.
