Great With

Natural pecans boast a versatile flavor profile that pairs beautifully with a wide array of ingredients, elevating your snack game to a whole new level. Their rich, buttery essence melds wonderfully with the sweetness of dried fruits like cranberries, apricots, and figs, creating a delightful balance of flavors. For those with a penchant for savory delights, pecans can be a game changer when tossed with cheeses, especially blue cheese or sharp cheddar. They also make a magnificent companion to dark chocolate, enhancing its indulgent depth with their own creamy texture. Whether sprinkled on your morning oatmeal, stirred into your favorite yogurt, or simply munched on their own, pecans prove to be the ultimate, adaptable snack!

Nutritional Benefits

Packed with an impressive array of essential nutrients, natural pecans are a powerhouse of health benefits. They are high in monounsaturated fats, which contribute to heart health by reducing levels of 'bad' LDL cholesterol and boosting 'good' HDL cholesterol. Their rich fiber content aids digestion and promotes a feeling of fullness, making them a wonderful addition to a weight management diet. Not to mention, the hefty dose of antioxidants, primarily in the form of Vitamin E and selenium, that they offer. These antioxidants fight against cellular damage caused, potentially reducing the risk of various chronic diseases. So, when you snack on our Fancy Pecan halves, you're not just satisfying your taste buds, but also nourishing your body!

Storage

Storing pecans correctly is crucial to maintain their freshness and extend their shelf life. First, make sure the pecans are completely dry before you store them. Place the pecans in an airtight container or a resealable plastic bag to protect them from exposure to air, which can speed up their deterioration. For long-term storage, it's best to keep them in the refrigerator or freezer. The cool temperatures slow down the oxidation process, preventing the pecans from becoming rancid. Before using frozen pecans in your recipes, let them thaw at room temperature. Rest assured, these tips will help keep your pecans fresh longer!
