Healthy Fresh Snacks Made Easy
As one happy customer shared with us:
“Nuts are such an enjoyable healthy treat, they belong in the medicine cabinet.”
Here are a few reasons why pecans (and many of our other products) deserve a spot in your healthy lifestyle:
Health Benefits of Pecans
- High in monounsaturated fats – the kind dieticians recommend for those managing high cholesterol
- Rich in heart-healthy oils – tree nut oils are known to support cardiovascular health
- Packed with fiber – both soluble and insoluble fiber help support digestive and GI health
Healthy Swaps for Everyday Foods
At Sunnyland Farms, we’re big believers in smart, simple food swaps. Here are a few of our favorites:
- Salads: Replace croutons with pecans or any of our nut varieties for added crunch, flavor, and nutrition
- Cereal: Toss in a handful of heart-healthy nuts to add fiber, protein, and essential nutrients — without preservatives or additives
- Oatmeal: Add dried apricots for a naturally sweet, fiber-rich topping our customers love
- Chocolate Craving Fix: Try pitted dates and pecans together for a sweet, satisfying, chocolate-alternative snack
- Nut Butter Upgrade: Spread our pecan butter or almond butter on toast for a delicious and nutritious start to your day
- Snacking: A handful of pecans or one of our nut mixes makes a perfect mid-day pick-me-up
- "Breading" Alternative: Use pecan meal (aka pecan flour) instead of breadcrumbs — it adds a rich, nutty flavor and browns beautifully when baked
