Roasted & Salted Pecans
What it is
These are whole pecan halves that have been dry roasted to enhance their natural flavor and then lightly coated with salt. Roasting brings out a deeper, nuttier taste and a satisfying crunch. The salt provides a savory counterpoint to the richness of the pecans. They are ready to eat straight from the bag.
