The pecan nut: rich in healthy fatty acids

Our raw and organic pecan nuts have a lot to offer in terms of both culinary and health benefits. They have a high content of unsaturated fatty acids and provide important vitamins and minerals. Their mild, spicy flavour enhances muesli bars, energy balls or vegan cake creations, for example. Visually and in flavour, they are reminiscent of walnuts. However, the flavour is slightly sweeter and more delicate.

Pecans: Valuable for your health

Pecan kernels consist to a large extent of unsaturated fatty acids. If you replace the saturated fatty acids in your diet with unsaturated fatty acids, this helps to maintain a normal blood cholesterol level. Pecans also provide vitamin E and iron. They are rich in vitamin B1, potassium, phosphorus, manganese and magnesium. Manganese, for example, helps to protect your cells from oxidative stress. Thanks to their valuable nutrients, pecans are an ideal ingredient for a balanced diet.

Our pecan nuts: Gentle processing without heating

Gentle processing is important to preserve the natural flavour and nutrients. Keimling Pecans are neither roasted nor heated in any other way and are therefore of raw food quality. The kernel halves are unsalted and completely natural. We source our pecans from a farm in South Africa that has been certified organic since 1996 and therefore has years of experience and expertise in handling the delicate kernels. You receive nuts of hand-picked quality - whole halves with little breakage. In addition, the raw material is always kept refrigerated to ensure a particularly fresh flavour and to protect the nutrients.

Are pecans related to walnuts?

The nuts of the pecan tree really do look very similar to our native walnut and in fact the pecan tree is a plant species within the walnut family. However, pecan nuts have a different flavour to walnuts - the pecan nut is somewhat milder. Incidentally, the Spanish dubbed these delicious nuts "a kind of walnut".

How did the pecan nut come to be called "astronaut food"?

At the beginning of the 16th century, Spanish sailors brought the pecan nut to Europe, Asia and Africa. In the early 1970s, the pecan nut even left orbit and flew with the astronauts on the N.A.S.A.'s Apollo moon mission as the only fresh food. Certainly not only because of their nutritional value: pecans are optimal in their composition, contain many vital substances and also taste simply delicious.

What is the best way to use pecans?

Pecans have a rich and buttery flavour. They can be used on their own as a snack or in many recipes. You can give free rein to your creativity. Why not try a mustard-pecan dressing with a green salad? Simply puree a handful of pecan nuts with a little water, a squeeze of lemon and mustard seeds until smooth. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Of course, you can also grate pecans or use them as a crunchy garnish in your recipes. And if you like it sweet, why not try energy bars made from pecan nuts, dates and other delicious raw food ingredients? Fantastically delicious.

Where does the name "pecan nut" come from?

The nut owes its name to the Pecan Indians - an Indian tribe from North America. They called the nut a "gift from heaven" as an expression of their appreciation for this special gift of nature: It was an important food for the Indians and also helped them to survive particularly cold winters.
