Storage Tips
Airtight container. Refrigerate for 6 months, freeze for 1 year.
Baking Science
61% fat. Contain no cholesterol. Toasting is essential — removes skins and develops deep, complex flavour through Maillard reaction.
Recipe Context
For nut flours: weigh to avoid dry or greasy texture swings.
For seed gels: hydration ratio directly affects binding strength.
For toppings: weight gives consistent coverage and bake color.
Common Pitfalls
- Switching brands without re-checking weight can change texture and bake time.
- Using volume-only measurements for dense ingredients can overshoot recipe targets.
Brand Variance & Measuring Method
Baseline reference: 1 cup hazelnuts = 115g. In real kitchens, a practical range is usually 105g-125g per cup (9% band).
Why this happens: cut size, grind consistency, and oil content alter packing behavior.
