Pecan Pieces, Organic

Apple Crumb Crisp
Gluten Free Pecan Bars
Maple Roasted Brussels Sprouts

They may be a classic favorite for baking and sweets, but SHILOH FARMS Pecan Pieces* aren't merely an indulgence. Beneath their rich, buttery deliciousness lies a good-for-you treat loaded with protein, fiber, and antioxidants!

Though one of the most recently domesticated crops (circa mid-19th Century), wild pecans have been a valuable source of nutrients for thousands of years in Mexico and the Southern United States. A good source of vitamins and minerals (particularly manganese, magnesium, zinc, and B Vitamins), pecans are also rich in heart-healthy mono- and polyunsaturated fats.  

To Toast: 
Oven: Spread nuts in a single layer on a baking sheet. Toast at 350° for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until fragrant and golden brown. For richer flavor and more even browning, toss each cup of nuts with 1 tsp. of vegetable oil before roasting.
Stovetop: Using a heavy skillet over medium-high heat, toast nuts for 10-15 minutes, stirring frequently, until lightly browned. While still hot, sprinkle with salt or other flavorings as desired, and spread on paper towel to cool.

Suggestions:
1. Add to chocolate chip cookies, brownies, banana bread, or classic pecan pie (or just about any other baked treat!)
2. Sprinkle over yogurt, oatmeal, fruit salad, or even ice cream.
3. Grind in a food processor for homemade pecan butter. Keep it simple by just adding salt, or let your imagination run wild and stir in honey, cinnamon, or other seasonings.
4. Give a hint of sweetness and crunch to casseroles, stuffing, and pilafs.
5. Mix with breading for chicken or fish.

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.
