Antioxidant Rich Pecans are Delectable Either Sweet or Savory
We love pecans as they make everything taste extra rich and hearty, especially Louisiana Pecans! Did you know that pecans contain the highest amount of antioxidants over any other nut? Rich in fiber, vitamins, minerals and a great source of plant protein – pecans are more than just a yummy bite – they are also touted for their health benefits. If you love the taste of pecan pie, then Chewy Pecan Bars from Holly Clegg’s Too Hot in the Kitchen cookbook will melt in your mouth and best of all they are so easy to make. Now you can consider this all-time favorite dessert a health food!

Spiced Pecans make an oh-so savory snack or party pick-up. Get creative, as they are a great accompaniment to your cheese platter or even great sprinkled on a salad, a dip or roll in a cheese ball for extra kick to your dish. Toasting pecans is another delicious way to enjoy pecans – intensifying their flavor. We love to toast them and then freeze to have available for a recipe at a moment’s notice.
