Organic Hazelnuts: Raw, Soaked and Dried, Certified Organic Hazelnuts

Soaked & Dehydrated Hazelnuts

Our Certified Organic hazelnuts (filberts) are fresh, flavorful, and delicious. This is because we work hard to source the highest quality nuts available. All the extra measures we take, such as refrigeration and vapor barrier packaging, ensure that you'll always receive the best hazelnuts. We offer several package sizes including our twenty-five-pound bulk hazelnuts. Wholesale hazelnuts are also available upon request.

In July 2003, the FDA released a qualified health claim stating, "Scientific evidence suggests, but does not prove, that eating 1.5 ounces per day of most nuts, as part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol, may reduce the risk of heart disease." If you’re looking to incorporate more hazelnuts into your diet, there’s no better place to find this nutrient-dense superfood than from Wildly Organic.

Preserved At The Peak of Freshness

At Wildly Organic, our bulk hazelnuts are Certified Organic. We start with raw hazelnuts that we then soak and dry under controlled conditions with commercial equipment in a USDA inspected kitchen. Once completely dehydrated, we package our organic hazelnuts in a vapor barrier bag to protect the nuts from sunlight and moisture. At Wildly Organic we do everything possible to ensure these nuts are the highest quality, most delicious hazelnuts available.

What are the Benefits of Soaking and Dehydrating Nuts?

Sally Fallon and the Weston A. Price Foundation suggests that nuts be soaked and then dehydrated at low temperatures. Here’s why:

“Phytic acid occurs naturally in nuts, and it protects them until they’re ready for germination. Unfortunately, phytic acid binds to certain minerals and transforms into a phytate, which inhibits your body’s ability to absorb some of the nut’s nutrients.”

After several cycles of soaking and rinsing and allowing the nuts a little bit of air, germination will occur. This starts to break down the enzyme inhibitors as the nuts release their protective shield and unlock stored nutrients to prepare for growth.

Once the soaking process is complete, we dehydrate the nuts slowly at a very low temperature to extend the shelf life and give them a delicate crunch. The low-heat method will preserve the nutrients and ensure that our bulk hazelnuts remain entirely raw.
