Applications

Medium pecan pieces are a workhorse ingredient across sweet and savory menus. In baking, they perform well in pecan pie fillings where a medium chop disperses evenly through the custard, in oatmeal cookies, banana breads, and coffee cakes where visible nut pieces are expected, and in streusel toppings where the size holds up under baking. On the savory side, pecan pieces toast quickly in a dry skillet for garnishing roasted vegetables, grain pilafs, or butternut squash soup. They also grind readily into pecan meal for crusts and breading when a finer texture is needed.

Preparation & Use

For the best flavor, toast pecan pieces in a single layer on a sheet pan at 350°F for 5 to 7 minutes until fragrant and lightly darkened. Toasting intensifies the natural oils and adds depth to both raw and cooked applications. Store unopened bags in a cool, dry place; once opened, reseal tightly and use within a few weeks, or refrigerate or freeze for extended shelf life to protect the natural oils from going rancid.
