Pecan Oil

Description

the oil that we squeeze from fresh, non-GMO Texas Pecans, is produced using the cold pressed method. No chemical processing, refining, or heat over 90 degrees, is used in the making of our products. These methods produce more oil, but they destroy flavor and nutrition in the process.

Pecans have the highest level of antioxidants of all the nuts! I know…it’s literally the healthiest nut available!!

Pecan oil is rich in monounsaturated fats, specifically oleic acid (52%), and low in saturated fats. It also contains linoleum acid (36.6%), and small amounts of palmitic (7.1%), stearic (2.2%), and linolinec acids (1.5%).  The overall balance of fatty acids in the oil may reduce LDL cholesterol (also known as the “bad” cholesterol), and lower the risk of heart disease.

Pecan Oil is a wonderful cooking oil. With a smoke point of 470 degrees, it’s ideal for pan searing, roasting, or frying. The mild, nutty, pecan flavor enhances the flavor of the ingredients it’s used with, making it ideal for salad dressings and dips. With it’s healthy attributes, it’s a good substitute for butter and other refined cooking oils in baking.
