Do hazelnuts float when soaked and boiled?

Yes, hazelnuts tend to float when soaked and boiled due to their lower density compared to water. When nuts absorb water, they may become heavier, but their overall structure often allows some of them to remain buoyant. However, the specific behavior can vary based on the size and freshness of the hazelnuts. Generally, many will float initially, but some may eventually sink as they become fully saturated.
