What is Hazelnut butter?
{{Distinguish|Beurre noisette}} '''Hazelnut butter''' is a type of [[nut butter]]. It is made by grinding raw or roasted [[hazelnut]]s. It is more common in Europe. Hazelnut butter can be crunchy or smooth. Hazelnut butter is high in natural fats, but the oil can separate easily, so it should be stirred before use. It should also be refrigerated after opening to slow re-separation and spoilage.<ref>{{cite web|title=What is Hazelnut Butter?|url=http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-hazelnut-butter.htm|accessdate=March 23, 2012}}</ref> Hazelnut butter can be a good alternative to [[peanut butter]] for those with [[Peanut allergy|peanut allergies]] or those who avoid [[legume]]s.<ref>{{cite web|url =http://ndb.nal.usda.gov/ndb/foods/show/3728|title =Nutrient data for 12120, Nuts, hazelnuts or filberts|access-date =2021-06-26|archive-date =2016-03-08|archive-url =https://web.archive.org/web/20160308235659/https://ndb.nal.usda.gov/ndb/foods/show/3728|url-status =dead}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url =http://ndb.nal.usda.gov/ndb/foods/show/4779|title =Nutrient data for 16087, Peanuts, all types, raw|access-date =2021-06-26|archive-date =2017-07-11|archive-url =https://web.archive.org/web/20170711053825/https://ndb.nal.usda.gov/ndb/foods/show/4779|url-status =dead}}</ref> ==References== {{Reflist}} {{Food-stub}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Hazelnut Butter}} [[Category:Nut butters]]
