Nut lovers often face a dilemma: how to get to the kernels without the shells flying all over the room and the fruit remaining unharmed?

Luckily, there are a variety of ways to help you quickly and safely peel any nut.

Today we suggest you take a closer look at tasty and healthy hazelnuts.

Using pliers

To crack a nut, clamp it between the pliers, holding the nippers in your palm to prevent the shell from flying apart.

With a hammer

If the hazelnuts are very hard, place them in a cloth bag, place them on a wooden board and lightly hit them with a hammer to pop them out of the shell.

By heating

To make cracking easier, place the unshelled nuts on a baking sheet and heat in the oven for 10 minutes. This will make the shells more pliable.

But getting rid of the shell is only half the battle: you still need to peel the hazelnuts. To do this, fry the kernels in a frying pan over low heat for 5 minutes - as a result, the skin will quickly fall off.
