Product description

Kinnaur Hazelnuts – Rich, Creamy, Chemical-Free | ₹1,250.00 – ₹4,500.00

Hazelnuts are among the most nutritionally dense nuts available – which is why they’re used in everything from Nutella to high-end chocolatiers’ pralines to traditional Turkish sweets. But the hazelnuts in those products are almost never from India. India’s domestic hazelnut production is limited, concentrated in specific Himalayan valleys – including Kinnaur. Our hazelnuts come from exactly that source: Kinnaur district, Himachal Pradesh, grown at altitude without chemical inputs, and delivered to you without a chain of import middlemen.

At ₹1,250.00 – ₹4,500.00, these are priced significantly below imported hazelnuts of comparable quality. That’s not because we’ve cut corners – it’s because we’re buying directly from the farmers, not importing from Turkey or Italy through multiple commercial intermediaries.

What to do with Kinnaur hazelnuts – practical uses

As a daily snack

A small handful (20–25g) of hazelnuts makes an ideal between-meal snack – satiating, nutritionally dense, and portable. Toast lightly in a dry pan first for 3–4 minutes to deepen the flavour and loosen the papery inner skin, which can then be rubbed off with a clean cloth.

In Indian and fusion cooking

  • Hazelnut chutney: Roasted hazelnuts blended with fresh coriander, green chilli, garlic, and lemon juice. A richer alternative to the standard peanut or coconut chutney.
  • In kormas and gravies: Ground hazelnuts add a creamy, mildly sweet depth to nut-based gravies – works particularly well in shahi korma or white-gravy dishes.
  • As a garnish: Roughly chopped hazelnuts over rice pudding, payasam, or halwa add texture and a pleasant contrast to the sweet base.
  • Hazelnut butter: Blend roasted hazelnuts in a food processor for 5–10 minutes until the natural oils release and a smooth butter forms. No additives needed. Better than commercial versions.

In baking and desserts

  • Classic financiers and hazelnut cakes – the roasted nuttiness pairs with butter and brown sugar perfectly.
  • Chocolate bark – melted dark chocolate with roughly chopped toasted hazelnuts, cooled and broken into pieces.
  • Granola – hazelnuts add a rich, more complex flavour than almonds or cashews in homemade granola.
  • Hazelnut praline – caramelised sugar poured over toasted hazelnuts, set and broken into pieces. Simple and extraordinary.

How to skin hazelnuts easily

 

The papery inner skin of hazelnuts has a slightly bitter flavour that can be noticeable in delicate preparations. To remove it: roast the hazelnuts in a dry oven or pan until the skins begin to crack (5–7 minutes at 180°C), then tip them onto a clean kitchen towel, fold the towel over them, and rub vigorously. The skins come off easily. For recipes where the skin doesn't matter (granola, chunky chutneys), skip this step.

Frequently asked questions

 

Are these hazelnuts the same as what's used in Nutella?

Nutella uses hazelnuts (primarily from Turkey and Italy), yes - and the flavour profile is similar because Corylus avellana (the common hazelnut species) is the same across growing regions. Kinnaur hazelnuts have the same creamy, rich character. The difference is origin (Himalayan vs European), growing conditions (high-altitude, chemical-free vs intensive commercial orchards), and supply chain (direct from farmer vs processed through multiple commercial stages).

Do hazelnuts need to be refrigerated?

In-shell hazelnuts can be stored at room temperature for several weeks in a cool, dry place. Shelled hazelnuts should be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for best results - the high fat content makes them susceptible to rancidity at room temperature over time. Consume within 3–4 months of opening.

Are hazelnuts suitable for people with tree nut allergies?

Hazelnuts are tree nuts and are one of the most common tree nut allergens. People with a diagnosed tree nut allergy should avoid hazelnuts. Even if your allergy is to a different tree nut (e.g., walnuts), cross-reactivity with hazelnuts is possible. Consult your allergist.
