Are maple pecans good for you?

Absolutely! Pecans are full of healthy fats, antioxidants and fiber. Combined with the natural sweetness of maple, they're a healthier choice for a sweet treat or easy snack recipe.

Why are my candied pecans chewy?

If your pecans are chewy, they might not have been roasted long enough or the oven wasn’t hot enough.

What is the difference between roasted and toasted pecans?

Roasting usually involves higher heat and often some form of oil or fat. Toasting typically uses dry heat and is done at lower temperatures.

Do you need to refrigerate roasted pecans?

No, you can store your maple cinnamon roasted pecans in an airtight container at room temperature.

Should you wash pecans before eating?

No need to wash. The roasting process will take care of any potential residue.

Can you freeze roasted pecans?

Yes, you can! Roasted pecans freeze well for up to 3 months in a zip-top freezer bag or airtight container.
