WE’RE NUTS, COBNUTS…
Every Autumn beautiful, unusual small nuts appear in the British larder.
They are not dissimilar to a hazelnut, but should not be mistaken for them; the Cobnut is a nut in its own right.
They are super-delicious fresh but can also be dried and eaten later in the season.
Cobnuts, filberts, hazelnuts are all varieties of the Corylus family.
They grow in Britain and can be found fresh from early Autumn, or dried and processed for using year round.
Cobnuts are very distinctive in their pretty, downy cover which, when fresh, is easy to remove as is the shell of the young nut.
Once they begin to dry the shell toughens yet will still only need a sharp tap to break.
When young, the green cobnuts have a taste very similar to coconut and as they mature and become golden, they are much sweeter and juicier.
