Hazelnut meal, also known as hazelnut flour, is a gluten-free alternative to wheat flour made from finely ground hazelnuts. It boasts a rich, nutty flavor and a slightly coarse texture. The color is typically a light tan or brown, depending on how the hazelnuts were processed. Using hazelnut meal adds a delicious nutty taste and moistness to baked goods, making it a popular ingredient for cakes, cookies, and other desserts. It's a versatile ingredient that can be used in both sweet and savory dishes.

To maintain the freshness and prevent rancidity of hazelnut meal, store it in an airtight container in a cool, dark, and dry place. Refrigeration is recommended, especially for long-term storage, as the cold temperature helps slow down the oxidation of the oils. Alternatively, you can freeze hazelnut meal in a freezer-safe bag or container for up to six months. Always check for any off odors before use, as nut flours can go rancid if improperly stored.
