Our Hazelnuts are Certified Organic and have been soaked and dried at low temperatures and kept refrigerated both before and after this process. Packaged in a vapor barrier bag to protect the nuts from sunlight and moisture, Wilderness Family Naturals does everything possible to ensure these nuts are the highest quality, most delicious hazelnuts available!
They are soaked as Sally Fallon and the Weston A. Price Foundation suggests, and then dehydrated at low temperatures.
Our Certified Organic Hazelnuts (filberts) are fresh, flavorful and delicious. We do our best to procure the highest quality nuts available. They are soaked and dried under controlled conditions with commercial equipment in a USDA inspected kitchen. We take extra measures, such as refrigeration and vapor barrier packaging to insure that you buy only the best hazelnuts. We offer a number of package sizes including our twenty-five pound bulk hazelnuts. Wholesale hazelnuts also available.
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."
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 the pecans remain entirely raw.
