Pecans
Pecans are the rich, buttery nuts harvested from the pecan tree (Carya illinoinensis), a species native to North America. Renowned for their unique flavor and crunchy texture, pecans are a versatile ingredient in the food industry, used in baked goods, confectionery, snacks, and savory dishes. These nuts are a nutritional powerhouse, providing healthy fats, fiber, protein, and essential nutrients like magnesium and zinc, which support heart health, digestion, and overall vitality. Their distinctive taste and health benefits make pecans a favorite for both indulgent recipes and nutritious diets.

We source pecans from Mexico, the USA, and South Africa, regions known for their exceptional pecan cultivation. The USA, particularly the southern states, is the largest producer, offering consistent quality and a reliable supply. Mexico contributes with its robust harvests and long-standing expertise in pecan farming, while South Africa provides high-quality nuts from its well-established orchards and favorable climate. This diverse sourcing strategy ensures access to premium pecans that meet the global demand for flavor, quality, and sustainability.
