Are Pecans Healthy?

Pecans are absolutely a heart-healthy food when consumed in moderation. The F.D.A. shares that "scientific evidence suggests, but does not prove, that eating 1.5 ounces per day of most nuts, such as shelled pecans, as part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol, may reduce the risk of heart disease.” Mammoth Shelled Georgia Pecan Halves are defined by the U.S. Department of Agriculture as counting between 200 – 250 halves per pound. Each crop year is different, so size and thickness will vary year to year. If you haven't compared a fresh farm pecan from Georgia to a store-bought pecan, you'll be shocked at the difference in taste, weight, and nutrition. Our raw pecans and toasted nuts and pecans are naturally gluten-free, and have no added sugar.

How are Sunnyland pecans different than others you'll find online?

Did you know there are over 500 different types of pecans? Here at Sunnyland, we grow many of these varietals in our own groves including Desirable, Schley, Pawnee, Kiowa, Cape Fears & more! The Elliott pecan is the undisputed King of Flavor. Packed with more oil than most other pecans, the Elliot “cultivar” is naturally sweet & delicious. We guarantee you’ve never tasted a fresh pecan like a Sunnyland Elliot. (We call them Jr. Halves around here!)

We are also pleased to let you know that Sunnyland’s Raw Georgia Pecans are certified Kosher. Both certifications cover our Mammoth and Junior Pecan Halves and our Large and Small Pecan Pieces. The Kosher certification process was conducted by the Atlanta Kashruth Commission under the supervision of Rabbi Reuven Stein.

And lastly, our 1,700-acre Pecan farm was originally purchased by Will Willson in 1928. Today, we are a fourth-generation, family-owned farm. We love educating our fantastic customers about our local products. Check back often for new fun facts about your favorite nut (the pecan of course!).
