Australian Pecans

From: $9.50

Before European settlement, pecans were often traded amongst Native Americans, as they were an excellent food source for hunter gatherers. That’s why the name “pecan” is thought to have originated from the Algonquin Indian tribe word “pakan”, which means a hard-shelled nut that requires a stone for cracking. Wild pecan trees grow up to 50 meters and can live and produce nuts for 150 years. Despite being the only nut known to originate from the USA, we source only the freshest Australian pecans, which ensures that they not only meet our stringent quality standards, but arrive super fresh!
