Pecans

Baking with pecans

Pecans are nuts with a buttery flavour that enrich your bakes. With pecans you can make delicious pecan rolls, pies or biscuits. Use them as a topping, filling or incorporate them into a crisp base. Pecans also add a surprising flavour to homemade ice cream.

Are pecans healthy?

Did you know that pecans are a nutritious choice? These nuts are packed with natural nutrients such as zinc, vitamin B1 and healthy fats. A handful of pecans provides around a quarter of your daily requirement of zinc and vitamin B1.

Pecans support normal heart function, may help to lower cholesterol levels and assist in regulating blood sugar levels. They fit perfectly into a balanced lifestyle or diet. Healthy and delicious go hand in hand here.

Types of pecans

At Baktotaal you will find pure, natural, unsalted pecans. No additives: just as you want to use them in all your baking recipes. Planning a small baking project? A 150 gram pack is often sufficient. Bake regularly or work in larger quantities? Then our 800 gram value pack is ideal. The packaging is resealable, keeping the nuts fresh and crunchy.

What is the difference between pecans and walnuts?

Pecans and walnuts may look similar, but they are certainly not the same. They both belong to the walnut family and grow on trees, yet they differ in flavour. Walnuts have a slightly bitter taste and a firmer texture. Pecans are somewhat sweeter and softer, making them especially delicious in sweet bakes such as brownies or in a pecan pie.

Combining pecans with other seeds, nuts and fruits

Pecans are delicious when combined with dark chocolate, vanilla extract, caramel, cinnamon and dried fruit. At Baktotaal you will find everything you need to complete your recipes. Why not make pecan chocolate chip cookies? Is your mouth watering yet?
