Pecan Nuts

How to Use Pecan Nuts

These nuts give a rich, buttery texture to multiple daily and baked dishes. Here are a few simple ways to use them:

• Daily Snack 

You can eat about 15-20 pecan halves (around 28g) for a simple snack. This is the recommended daily intake amount recommended by most nutritionists.

• Baked items

Combine about 1 cup of chopped nuts into the pie, cookie, or brownie batter. It adds a rich, buttery crunch in every bite.

• Breakfast 

You can mix about 1 tbsp of these nuts into your morning oatmeal, yogurt bowl, or fruit bowl to add a nutty, buttery twist to the boating dish.

• Roasted nuts

Dry roast some nuts using one tsp ghee or butter. This adds the deeper, richer flavour to nuts. 

• Kheer & Halwa

Sprinkle about 8-10 chopped or sliced nuts on the top of Indian sweet dishes like kheer or halwa right before serving. It adds an extra richness and crunch.
