Organic Pecan Pieces

Organic Pecan Halves

Pecans are a type of nut produced by the Hickory tree and are native to the USA and Mexico. The original meaning of pecan is “nut that requires a stone to crack.”

They belong to the same family as the walnut and have the same distinctive texture and brain-like shape, but a slightly sweeter taste.

Cooking Pecans

Pecans can be eaten as a snack or used in cakes, pies, cookies and nut butters.
