Mammoth Pecan Halves - Raw Organic
About Product
Mammoth Pecan Halves are a classic American delicacy that has been a part of US cuisine since the 19th century.
Native to the United States, wild pecans were a staple of many Native American diets and were often used in traditional recipes.
In the mid-1800s, the first commercial pecan orchards were established in the South, and Mammoth Pecan Halves were born.
These large, flavor-filled halves were discovered to be tastier and more versatile than traditional pecans, and they quickly became a favorite of chefs and home cooks alike.
They are still popular in pies, cookies, and other desserts, as well as in salads and savory dishes. Whether you’re looking for a classic American treat or a modern twist on an old favorite, Mammoth Pecan Halves are sure to please.
You have to see and taste these to believe it.
You won’t find fresher pecans short of picking them off the tree yourself. Great for salads, desserts, or just eating them straight. If you love pecans, try our mammoth pecan halves - you’ll be amazed!
