The Surprising Luxury Snack You Need Every Day: Tasty Pecans

What has the perfect combination of crunchy, creamy, and chewy texture, and is packed with nutrition? Pecans, of course.

Orchard-grown pecans are overflowing with a toasty, buttery flavor like no other tree nut. Pecans have a melt-in-your-mouth quality that make them both tender and crisp. Their distinctive taste satisfies your hunger at any time of day. Moreover, their natural sweetness will satisfy your sweet tooth, and their unmistakably nutty aroma creates a comforting and indulgent experience. Nutritionally, they’re just what you need to maintain your energy level and give your body nutrients you’d otherwise miss. Tasty pecans are the luxury snack you need every day.

 

Bursting with Bold Flavors

Of all pecan varieties, the Elliot (or Elliott) is considered by pecan farmers and researchers to be a  highest-quality cultivar. Research at the University of Georgia has shown Elliots to have outstanding color, flavor, and consistent quality. For those reasons, we only use Elliots when making our savory roasted pecans.

Every flavor from mild and salty-sweet Butter and Sea Salt to zesty Agave Ginger to our original Rosemary Black Pepper is seasoned to enhance the natural richness of the pecans. They all offer a tantalizing taste experience with every bite.

 

Pecans are a Superfood You Need to Eat Every Day

I grew up eating pecans as a snack, and as an ingredient in a wide variety of foods. But many people do not know about the health benefits of this deliciously buttery and naturally sweet native American tree nut. In fact, pecans are packed with healthy fats, proteins, vitamins, and minerals. I started this company to introduce you to all the many different ways you can enjoy pecans.

Pecans are a significant source of manganese, magnesium, zinc, and copper. These essential nutrients in this rich, flavorful nut are linked to potential health benefits, including blood sugar stabilization, heart disease protection, and immunity support.

 

“You can’t go wrong with some nuts. The key word is ‘some.’ Eat them one at a time, not by the handful.”

~ Summer Sanders

A one-ounce serving – about 19 halves, delivers 18 grams of “good” fat, including oleic acid, four grams of carbs, and three grams of protein. A serving also contains three grams of fiber, or 11 percent of your dietary fiber. They deserve to be a permanent part of your pantry.

You can store pecans in your refrigerator for about 10 months, and frozen for up to two years. So, you can buy them in multiple flavors in our economical Pantry Packs and always have a good variety on hand.

 

3 Easy Ways to Add Pecans to Your Daily Diet

Pecans are an easy and tasty alternative to ultra-processed snacks, making them a luxurious snack choice. With protein to help keep you fueled throughout the day, pecans are also a satisfying and nutritious snack choice. They’re also a great addition to your meals.

  • Sprinkle them onto your breakfast. Add crunch to your breakfast bowl of yogurt or oatmeal and start the day on a nutritious note.
  • Add them to your lunch salad. A handful of slow-roasted and savory flavored pecans will transform a simple salad into a refreshing lunch treat.
  • Switch out for a meat entrée. Pecans have a unique texture that mimics the mouthfeel of meat. Even if you’re not trying to eat more plants, pecans are the ideal ingredient for recipes that call for ground meats, such as tacos.

When you need a snack, reach for savory roasted pecans for a satisfying crunch and rich, nutty flavor that will keep you energized and content. This luxury snack not only indulges your taste buds but also provides a boost of protein and healthy fats, making it a sophisticated and nutritious choice. Perfect on its own or as a delightful addition to your favorite dishes, roasted pecans elevate your snacking experience to a new level of indulgence.
