The Surprisingly Inexpensive and Healthful Snack: Pecans in Bulk
Snacking is great for bridging between meals. But the art of snacking is tricky. You want to juggle convenience, flavor, variety, and cost, all while choosing a truly healthful food that boosts your physical and mental well-being. Savory roasted pecans are just what you need.
Pecans in Bulk Save Money
Known for their buttery flavor and gentle crunch, pecans are a nutrient-rich and convenient snack. Our 21-ounce Pantry Packs are a cost-saving choice and come in many lightly seasoned savory flavors, so you always have a variety to choose from. Even if you live alone or have a small family, Pecan Pantry Packs are a sensible bulk purchase.
To keep them fresh tasting, always keep the pecans in the airtight container and store them in a cool pantry or cupboard. The recommended daily serving is one ounce, so a Pantry Pack will last you three weeks. However, if you need to keep the pecans longer, store them in the refrigerator, where they’ll stay fresh for up to 10 months.
Pecans are Power-Packed
The American Diabetes Association says eating pecans may help you avoid those unhealthful food cravings that prevent weight loss. When you have savory roasted pecans in bulk, it’s easy to grab a small handful for a power-packed and convenient snack any time of day.
Plus, pecans are considered a superfood, full of important nutrients, vegetarian protein, fiber, and healthful fat. They’re low in carbohydrates. They may reduce your risk of heart disease.
