things people ask

• How many hazelnuts are in a tablespoon?
  About 6-8 whole kernels at 8.9 g per level tablespoon. Chopped coarsely, a tablespoon runs closer to 10-11 g since the broken pieces pack tighter than whole rounded nuts. For topping a bowl of yogurt or porridge, two tablespoons of chopped toasted hazelnuts (around 20 g) is the standard restaurant-style serving.
• How much does a tablespoon of hazelnut butter weigh?
  Hazelnut butter and whole hazelnuts behave very differently by tablespoon. A tablespoon of smooth hazelnut butter is roughly 16 g, almost double the 8.9 g of whole nuts, because the butter has no air gaps. If a toast or smoothie recipe specifies tablespoons, check whether it means whole, chopped, or buttered — the gram delta is significant.
• Are hazelnuts measured by tablespoon in salad recipes?
  Often, yes. A tablespoon of toasted, roughly chopped hazelnuts (around 9-10 g) is the standard scatter over a single plated salad — frisée with lardons, shaved fennel with citrus, roasted beets with goat cheese. Doubled to two tablespoons, it becomes the dominant texture. Recipes rarely bother with grams at this scale because the visual coverage matters more than precision.
