With all the concentration on getting and staying healthy by eating the right foods and getting enough exercise, it can be hard to find snacks that are as good for your health as they taste. One of the types of foods that are recognized for being healthy is nuts. One of the best tasting nuts is the pecan. Not only are they a healthy and great tasting snack on their own, they can be used in a number of dishes as well. You can buy some of the best pecans grown in the United States when you are shopping in Tucson.
The Green Valley Pecan Company Store has been growing and selling pecans just outside of Tucson since the 1950s. The rich land where the farm is located is perfect for growing delicious pecans. They have grown to be one of the largest pecan orchards there is anywhere.
They don’t just sell plain, natural pecans either. When you are shopping in Tucson, you can buy pecans that have been roasted and salted, or even flavored. How about some roasted pecans flavored with cinnamon or covered in dark, heart-healthy chocolate? You can get a gift bag or tray that has a mix of the different flavors, including butter toffee, honey roasted pecans or praline pecans. Perhaps English toffee covered pecans or a mix of dark and white chocolate covered pecans would be more to your liking.
They even sell ground pecans. This pecan meal can be used to top dishes such as cakes, pies or other baked goods. This pecan meal would make a great base for a cheesecake, rather than using graham crackers. You can add this healthy pecan meal to breads of any kind for additional taste and texture.
If you don’t get a chance to go shopping in Tucson, don’t worry, you can order any of their products right from the comfort of your home on their website. The gift tins and bags make great gifts for almost any occasion. Don’t worry if you are watching your waistline and still want to enjoy the candy coated pecans, since this family owned company offers several sugar-free varieties as well.
