About Nuts, pecans, dry roasted, with salt added
The pecan is a rich, buttery nut native to North America, the seed of a species of hickory tree that grows widely across the southern United States and Mexico. Its name comes from an Algonquian word for a nut so hard it must be cracked with a stone, and it was a staple food of Native American peoples long before it became a Southern icon; today Georgia and Texas lead its production, and it is the state nut of Texas.
With a sweet, mellow, slightly oily flavor, it is the only major tree nut native to the continent. Pecans are a good source of healthy monounsaturated fats, fiber, and minerals like manganese, copper, and zinc, along with antioxidants. They are the star of Southern classics like pecan pie, pralines, and butter-pecan ice cream, toasted for salads and oatmeal, baked into cookies, breads, and stuffing, and candied for a sweet snack, and toasting deepens their flavor beautifully.
Because their high oil content makes them prone to turning rancid, store shelled pecans in an airtight container in the refrigerator or freezer to keep them fresh.
