A hazelnut is the kind of nut that needs little introduction. Round, firm, and easy to hold... and once shelled, ready to nibble.
These unsalted shelled hazelnuts are handy as a little treat, during training, or simply for a special nibble. Offer one whole to a larger parrot or easily break it into smaller pieces for a smaller bird.
Small size... lots of possibilities
With the shell already removed, it’s easy to decide on the portion yourself. Half a hazelnut during training, a smaller piece hidden for foraging, or a whole nut to nibble on at leisure from the foot.
And of course, even such an unassuming little nut may first need a thorough inspection. Turn it around, cautiously try a corner... and then suddenly decide that further investigation is apparently unnecessary.
What does a hazelnut naturally contain?
Hazelnuts are naturally high in energy and fat. Most of their fat consists of monounsaturated fatty acids. They also naturally contain plant-based protein, fiber, vitamin E, and various minerals.
Their naturally high vitamin E content is particularly notable. Hazelnuts also contain magnesium, calcium, phosphorus, copper, and folic acid.
With about 63 grams of fat per 100 grams, hazelnuts are something to feed mindfully. They’re easy to portion as a small addition to a varied parrot diet.
Pure and simple
Our shelled hazelnuts are unsalted and offered just as they are. No flavor coating, no seasoning, and no added oil... just 100% consumer-grade hazelnut.
Their mild, rich nutty flavor makes them appealing as a treat, but their practical size is what makes this nut especially handy to offer for variety.
