American Native Pecans, Organic

Apple Crumb Crisp
Gluten Free Pecan Bars
Maple Roasted Brussels Sprouts

They may be slightly smaller than other varieties, but our SHILOH FARMS American Native Pecans have big flavor all their own! Grown naturally in the fertile river-bottom soils of Missouri (the Northernmost region of pecan production), these pecans have a higher oil content that results in extremely flavorful nutmeats characterized by a unique sweetness and rich butteriness preferred by many.

Pecans are loaded with antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals, including healthy levels of manganese, magnesium, zinc, and B Vitamins. Cholesterol-free and naturally sodium-free, a single handful contains the same amount of fiber as a medium-sized apple. Pecans are also a great source of protein and heart-healthy mono- and polyunsaturated fats.

To Toast: 
Oven: Spread shelled nuts in a shallow pan and bake in a 350° oven for 5 to 12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until nutmeats turn golden brown. For richer flavor and more even browning, toss each cup of nutmeats with one teaspoon of vegetable oil before roasting.
Stovetop: Using a heavy skillet over medium-high heat, toast nuts for 10 to 15 minutes until lightly browned, stirring frequently. While still hot, sprinkle with salt or other flavorings as desired, and spread on paper towel to cool.

Suggestions:
1. A handful of pecans makes a healthy, energy-boosting snack.
2. Add pecans to chocolate chip cookies, banana bread, or classic pecan pie (or just about any other baked good!)
3. Sprinkle pecans on top of yogurt or ice cream; add to your morning bowl of oatmeal or cereal.
4. Pecans provide a hint of sweetness and crunch to casseroles, stuffings, and pilafs.
5. Make quick candied pecans by sprinkling with Organic Maple Sugar while still hot from toasting.

Storage: Because of their high fat content, pecans should be kept in a cool, dry place in a tightly closed container. They also freeze well.
