For some reason, I always thought hazel was blue/green. Now, I have to change that definition in my head. I found a picture of a hazelnut on the Internet and the skin was medium/dark brown. The picture of hazelnut flour at http://www.foodsubs.com/Nutmeals.html was pale with the medium/dark brown colors which I guess are from the skin. So I think hazelnuts are hazel, almonds are almond. And rednuts are red; until SKZB says different. Maybe if I add more red food coloring, the bread will be red and not pink. It works with red velvet cake which is a chocolate cake. Bye. Linda G.
