How long do pecans last?
Pecans stay fresh at room temperature for about 4 weeks, in the refrigerator for up to 6 months, and in the freezer for up to one year when stored in an airtight container.
Our hand-roasted pecans are made in small batches for peak flavor, so we recommend enjoying them within the first few weeks for the best taste experience.
Dietary & Ingredients
Are your pecans gluten-free?
Yes, all Molly & Me Pecans are naturally gluten-free. Pecans are tree nuts that contain zero gluten, and our Pawleys Island kitchen processes only pecan products to minimize cross-contamination.
While our pecans are gluten-free and many are also vegan-friendly, all products do contain tree nuts (pecans). Some flavored varieties include dairy ingredients — check each product page for full ingredient details.
Are your pecans vegan?
Many of our pecan varieties are completely vegan-friendly, including our Natural and Roasted & Salted flavors, which contain no animal products whatsoever.
Some glazed varieties do contain butter or honey. Check the product page for each flavor — we clearly label which products are vegan so you can choose with confidence.
What ingredients do you use in your pecans?
We use premium-grade pecans combined with simple, high-quality ingredients you can actually pronounce — real butter, pure cane sugar, natural spices, and nothing artificial.
Every product page lists the complete ingredient list and nutritional information. We never use artificial preservatives, colors, or flavors — just real ingredients for real flavor.
Do your products contain allergens?
All Molly & Me products contain tree nuts (pecans) and are produced in a dedicated pecan facility. Some flavored varieties also contain dairy, soy, or wheat.
Always check the specific product page for complete allergen information before purchasing, especially if you have multiple food sensitivities.
How should I store my pecans?
For maximum freshness, store your pecans in an airtight container. They'll stay perfect at room temperature for 4 weeks, in the refrigerator for 6 months, or in the freezer for up to a year.
Our pecans are hand-roasted for peak flavor, so enjoy them sooner for the best taste. If freezing, let them come to room temperature before snacking for optimal crunch.
Can you freeze pecans?
Yes, pecans freeze beautifully and can last up to two years in the freezer without losing their flavor or nutritional value. Simply store them in an airtight container or freezer-safe bag.
When you're ready to enjoy them, let the pecans thaw at room temperature for about 30 minutes. You can also toast them briefly in a dry skillet to restore peak crunchiness.
What are candied pecans?
Candied pecans are whole pecans coated in a sweet, crunchy glaze made from sugar, butter, and warm spices, then toasted until golden and irresistible — a beloved Southern tradition.
Try our Praline Pecans or Cinnamon Sugar Pecans for our take on this classic. They're perfect for snacking, salad toppings, or gifting.
Health & Nutrition
Can dogs eat pecans?
No, pecans are not safe for dogs. Pecans contain juglone, a compound toxic to canines, and are prone to developing mold that produces tremorgenic mycotoxins which can cause seizures in dogs.
Even small amounts can cause digestive upset, vomiting, or diarrhea. If your dog accidentally eats pecans, contact your veterinarian. Keep all pecan products safely out of your pet's reach.
Are pecans good for weight loss?
Yes, pecans can support weight loss when enjoyed in moderation. They're packed with heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, fiber, and protein that help you feel full and satisfied longer.
A one-ounce serving (about 19 pecan halves) contains roughly 200 calories with 3 grams of fiber and 3 grams of protein. Studies show that nut consumption is associated with healthier body weight over time.
Do pecans have omega-3 fatty acids?
Yes, pecans contain alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), a plant-based omega-3 fatty acid that supports heart and brain health. While walnuts have more ALA, pecans offer a balanced fatty acid profile.
Pecans are especially rich in oleic acid, the same heart-healthy monounsaturated fat found in olive oil. Combined with their omega-3 content, pecans are a powerhouse for cardiovascular wellness.
Are pecans keto-friendly?
Yes, pecans are one of the most keto-friendly nuts available. A one-ounce serving has just 1.2 grams of net carbs with 20 grams of healthy fat, making them an ideal low-carb snack.
Their high fat-to-carb ratio makes pecans a perfect fit for ketogenic and low-carb diets. Our Roasted & Salted Pecans are a great keto option with no added sugar.
Can you eat pecans raw?
Yes, raw pecans are perfectly safe and nutritious to eat straight from the shell. They have a mild, slightly sweet, buttery flavor and retain all their natural vitamins and minerals.
Roasting enhances the flavor and adds a satisfying crunch, which is why we hand-roast our pecans in small batches. Both raw and roasted pecans deliver the same excellent nutritional benefits.
What do pecans taste like?
Pecans have a rich, buttery flavor with subtle sweetness and warm, toasty notes that distinguish them from other nuts. They're less bitter than walnuts and creamier than almonds.
Roasting deepens their natural caramel undertones, while our flavored varieties — from Bourbon to Cinnamon Sugar — add exciting layers to that signature pecan richness.
Why are pecans so expensive?
Pecans are expensive because pecan trees take 7–10 years to produce their first harvest, and the nuts require labor-intensive harvesting, shelling, and careful storage to maintain freshness.
At Molly & Me, we add another layer of craft — each batch is hand-roasted in small quantities in our Pawleys Island kitchen. That extra care and quality is what makes our pecans worth savoring.
Are pecans anti-inflammatory?
Yes, pecans are rich in antioxidants, vitamin E, and polyphenols that help combat inflammation throughout the body. Research links regular pecan consumption to reduced inflammatory markers.
The combination of gamma-tocopherol (a form of vitamin E), ellagic acid, and healthy monounsaturated fats gives pecans powerful anti-inflammatory properties that support heart health and overall wellness.
Are pecans a superfood?
Absolutely — pecans deserve "supernut" status. They rank among the top 15 foods highest in antioxidant capacity and deliver over 19 vitamins and minerals in every heart-healthy handful.
Pecans provide fiber, protein, healthy fats, manganese, copper, thiamine, and zinc. Research associates regular pecan consumption with improved cholesterol levels and cardiovascular health.
How many pecans should I eat per day?
Nutritionists recommend about one ounce of pecans per day — roughly 19 pecan halves or a small handful. This daily serving delivers heart-healthy fats, fiber, and essential nutrients.
One ounce provides about 200 calories, 20 grams of healthy fat, and 3 grams of fiber. Enjoying pecans daily as part of a balanced diet has been linked to improved cholesterol and heart health.
