About Hazelnuts (Grade 2)
Grade 2 hazelnuts are secondary-quality kernels characterized by minor defects including slight discoloration, small blemishes, or marginal size irregularities, while maintaining acceptable edibility standards. Primarily utilized in confectionery manufacturing, chocolate production, and processed food applications, these nuts offer cost advantages over premium grades. International trade recognizes distinct forms: in-shell, blanched kernels, and roasted varieties. Turkey dominates global production and exports, supplying approximately 75% of worldwide hazelnuts, followed by Italy, Azerbaijan, and Georgia. Buyers should verify moisture content specifications (typically 5-7%) and conduct organoleptic testing for off-flavors or rancidity, as Grade 2 nuts require closer quality scrutiny than higher classifications to ensure suitability for food safety compliance and end-product specifications.
