Pecan Kernels Organic 11kg

These organic pecan kernels are grown and processed entirely on the Huston family farm in Junction View, Queensland. These are not imported commodity nuts. Every pecan has been grown, harvested, cracked, dried, sorted and packed on farm, which protects the delicate oils and preserves the true flavour of fresh pecan.

About the producer

Organic Pecan Enterprises is a family orchard in Junction View, Queensland, and the historic home of Australia’s oldest pecan trees. Warren and Christine Huston grow, harvest, crack, dry, sort and pack every pecan on their farm, which means a radically short distance between tree and final product. This protects the delicate oils that make pecans taste so buttery and aromatic.

What makes these pecans special

This product consists mainly of whole and three-quarter halves, with minimal small pieces. They come from a balanced mix of proven pecan cultivars selected for flavour, consistency and performance in Australian conditions. This means you get that satisfying “snap” of whole kernel structure, rather than a bag of crumbs.

Storage tips

Pecans contain delicate natural oils. Store them airtight in the fridge or freezer to protect flavour. If you buy a larger size for baking or snacking, decant a small working jar for the pantry and keep the rest cold.

FAQs

Are these pecans Australian grown?

Yes. Like everything we sell at Sovereign Foods, these pecans are genuinely Australian. Grown and processed on the Huston family farm in Junction View, Queensland.

Are these pecans raw?

Yes, these pecans are raw and unroasted.

Do you roast these pecans?

No. We prefer to supply raw pecans and let you choose to toast or roast to your preference.

Why do these pecans taste fresher than imported pecans?

Because they are cracked, dried, sorted and packed on the same land they were grown, the time between harvest and packing is very short. The oils have not oxidised from sitting in a shipping container.
