Çiğ fındık içi means raw, shelled hazelnut kernels: unroasted and ready to be used in whatever way suits your recipe. Hazelnuts are closely associated with the Black Sea region of Turkey and are a favourite ingredient in Turkish sweets, biscuits and spreads. This Anthap pack is a convenient size for home baking and everyday snacking.
Because the kernels are raw, you can choose how to finish them. For a deeper flavour, toast them in a dry pan or a moderate oven until fragrant and golden, then let them cool before using. Chopped or ground, they work well in cakes, cookies, baklava-style desserts, granola and chocolate treats, and they add crunch to salads, pilaf and yoghurt bowls. They can also be blended into homemade nut butter or sauces.
Store the pack in a cool, dry place, away from heat and light, and keep it closed after opening. Contains hazelnuts, a tree nut; if anyone in your household has a nut allergy, please check the pack label before use.
