Remove Nuts from Their Skin

The brown skin of a nut lends a contrast in color for visual appeal. Since it is bitter in taste, however, some people would prefer nuts without skin.

Steps

Soaking Nuts

1. Soak almonds in boiling water for 3 to 5 minutes.
2. Peel off the moistened skin promptly.

Baking Nuts

1. Place hazelnuts on a baking sheet and heat the over at {{safesubst:#invoke:convert|convert}}. Bake them for about 12 to 15 minutes, or just until fragrance starts to develop.
2. Remove from oven and place in a clean cloth towel.
3. Rub hazelnuts in the towel and most of the skin will come off.

Tips

• It's very time-consuming to try to get all the skin off hazelnuts. So, it's alright if hazelnuts still have tiny pecks of skin on them.

Warnings

• Remove moistened almond skin promptly to prevent it from discoloring the nuts.
