Krishival's Wholesale Hazelnuts

You can buy hazelnuts from us in several forms to match what your business creates. Understanding the different hazelnut varieties helps you choose the perfect ingredient for food manufacturing, baking, or resale. Krishival offers expert guidance to make your purchasing decision straightforward and effective.

We supply hazelnut kernels in these main types:

• Raw Hazelnuts: These are ideal for producers who want to roast or process the nuts themselves. They offer flexibility for various recipes.
• Blanched Hazelnuts: The skins are removed from these hazelnuts. This creates a smoother texture and less bitter taste, perfect for fine pastries and confectionery.
• Roasted Hazelnuts: Roasting enhances the nut's flavor, making it deeper and more aromatic. These are ready to use in snacks, spreads, and baked goods.

Hazelnut Grades, Sizing, and Quality Specifications

High-quality hazelnuts meet clear industry standards for grades and sizes. Hazelnut specifications are important for professional buyers, as they determine the kernel's use and value. For example, U.S. No. 1 grade filberts have specific requirements for quality and tolerance for defects.

Sourcing and Global Production of Our Hazelnuts

Our Turkish hazelnuts come from the world's most productive growing regions. Turkey, particularly the Black Sea region, dominates global hazelnut production due to its ideal mild climate. Krishival maintains direct relationships with growers in this area, ensuring a reliable supply of high-quality hazelnuts.

The hazelnut harvest typically occurs in August. Growers harvest the nuts by shaking them from the trees and gathering them from the ground. After harvesting, the nuts undergo a crucial sun-drying process, which reduces moisture and is essential for developing their unique flavor. This is followed by de-husking, cracking, and careful sorting to prepare the kernels for shipment. We are committed to quality control at every step, which is central to Our Supplier Verification Process.

Nutritional Value and Health Benefits

Hazelnuts' nutrition makes them a valuable ingredient for health-focused products. These nuts offer significant health benefits, supported by their rich profile of vitamins, minerals, and healthy fats. They are an excellent source of antioxidants like Vitamin E, which helps protect the body's cells from damage.

Including hazelnuts in a diet can support heart health. They contain high amounts of monounsaturated fats, which help reduce bad cholesterol levels. Also, hazelnuts provide dietary fiber, which aids in digestion and encourages regular bowel movements. This nutritional information is useful for product development and marketing.

Bulk Packaging, Storage, and Shelf Life

Proper bulk packaging is essential to maintain the freshness of hazelnuts during shipping and storage. Our standard hazelnut storage options include 25kg vacuum-sealed bags placed inside sturdy cartons. This method is designed to protect the kernels from air and moisture, which helps prevent them from becoming rancid.

To maximize hazelnut shelf life, correct storage conditions are very important. We recommend the following practices:

• Storage: Keep hazelnuts in a cool, dry, and dark environment, away from any strong odors.
• Temperature: An ideal storage temperature is between 1°C and 4°C.
• Shelf Life: When stored properly, raw hazelnuts can last up to 12 months, while roasted hazelnuts maintain their best quality for about 6 months.
