What it is

Dry roasted pecans are whole or halved pecan nuts that have been heated in an oven without oil. Pecans are native to North America and are the seed of a drupe fruit, commonly mistaken for a nut. Roasting enhances their flavor and creates a crispier texture.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use dry roasted pecans for their rich, nutty flavor and crunchy texture. They are often added to baked goods, snack mixes, granola, and confectionery products like chocolate bars and candies.

Health notes

Pecans are a natural food and do not require FDA approval as a food additive. They are a source of healthy fats, fiber, and various vitamins and minerals. The FDA considers pecans to be generally recognized as safe (GRAS) for consumption. International bodies like EFSA have also evaluated pecans as a foodstuff.

Allergen info

Pecans are a tree nut, which is one of the 9 major allergens recognized by the FDA. People with tree nut allergies should avoid pecans.
