Over here Europe, pecans are still considered the unpopular brother of walnuts, but in the USA, they are much more beloved and widely used – and rightly so! Pecan nuts can be the highlight of so many tasty recipes, both in sweet dishes like the popular and delicious pecan pie, one of the most traditional desserts you can meet in the Southern states of the US, and savoury creations: use them to top your baked vegetables! With their buttery taste and crunchy texture, pecans will always pleasantly surprise.

You don't need to chop up our pecans

Do you use pecans mostly to cook and bake? Then our broken nuts are just perfect for you, as you won't have to chop them up. Moreover, you will save money in addition to time, as the broken pecan pieces are much cheaper than the perfect intact nuts. Win-win!

The highlight of your banana bread

Their gentle but distinctive taste makes pecans one of the best additions possible to your banana bread, to which they will bring not only taste, but also some crunchiness. Speaking of crunchiness, try sprinkling some broken pecans on your salads, porridge or just snack on them. If you thought broken nut pieces are for birds, you were completely wrong! The little pieces hold full flavour, despite not being entire nuts. If you still want whole pecan nuts, we also have those ready for you here at KoRo!

Climate impact

At KoRo, we analyse the greenhouse gas emissions that are produced during the production of our snacks. These include, among other things, CO2, methane and nitrous oxide. Our hard-working sustainability team collects all the information to calculate a value: the so-called CO2 equivalents. We are now passing this information on to you so that you can make informed purchasing decisions and keep an eye on your personal carbon footprint. We also use these valuable findings ourselves, to try to make our supply chains even smarter in the future and monitor our CO2 footprint.

CO₂ emissions by product

To make the work of our sustainability team easier, we have teamed up with the company Cozero. They support us with their decarbonisation software to calculate the CO2 emissions of our products. Our products go through a lot before they make their way into your pantry or snack bowl, so there is a lot to take into consideration: production, packaging, and logistics – to name just the big steps.

CO₂ emission per product in comparison

Would you like to find out how well your favourite snack stacks up against other products in terms of carbon footprint? Say no more! To create comparability, we calculated the CO₂ emissions per 1 kg of our products and compared them with other products that end up on many people's plates every day, such as cheese, tofu, and many more. We also included coffee as a drink for comparison. So no matter if it is your favourite snack or your go-to kitchen product, you are now able to see exactly how it performs in our “CO₂ per kg of product” ranking.

Comparison of CO₂ emissions per product in kg

Production

Herkunft der Pekannüsse in den USA

Pekannüsse kommen ursprünglich aus den USA und erfreuen sich dort hoher Beliebtheit. Fun Fact: Im Bundesstaat Texas ist der Pekannussbaum sogar der offizielle Nationalbaum. Der Anbau von Pekannüssen ist allerdings auch außerhalb der amerikanischen Hemisphären und somit auch in Deutschland gut möglich. Das einzig Wichtige: Sonne und warmes Klima.

Mit der Walnuss verwandt

Pekannussbäume benötigen mindestens zehn Meter Abstand zu anderen Bäumen, da sie tiefe Wurzeln schlagen. Der Baum zählt zu der Familie der Walnussgewächse. Kein Wunder also, dass Pekannüsse auch die amerikanischen Walnüsse genannt werden.

Erster Ertrag nach Jahren

Bis zur ersten Ernte der Pflanze müssen die Landwirte sich etwa fünf bis acht Jahre gedulden. Aber das Warten lohnt sich: Oftmals werden Pekannussbäume mehrere tausend Jahre alt und belohnen ihre Besitzer – oder besser gesagt deren Ur-Ur-Ur-Ur-Enkel – noch dann mit Früchten.

Geschüttelt, nicht gepflückt

Woran man merkt, dass die Pekannüsse bereit zur Ernte sind? Die Schale öffnet sich praktisch von alleine und die Nüsse fallen zu Boden. Bei der Ernte ist Schüttel-Action angesagt: Die Pekannüsse werden nicht von Hand gepflückt. Das wäre ohnehin schwierig, da die Bäume bis zu 35 m hoch wachsen.

Sortierung und Weiterverarbeitung

Nach der Ernte ist das Schälen und anschließend die Sortierung nach Qualitäten angesagt: Bruch und ganze Nüsse werden voneinander getrennt. Pekannussbruch wird oft zur Herstellung von Pekannussmus verwendet, ganze Pekannusskerne werden zu einem höheren Preis weiterverkauft. Eine exquisite Nascherei entsteht, sobald die Pekannüsse karamellisiert werden. Pssst: Im KoRo Shop findest Du allerlei Pekannuss-Variationen.

Questions & answers: Pecan nut pieces 1kg

Search FAQ section:

What is the best way to store cracked pecans and what is the shelf life of cracked nuts?

Before you order a kilogram of pecan curd right away, you naturally want to know more about the shelf life of the nuts. If stored in a light-protected and dry place, the pecans in curd quality will last about a year after filling. But don't worry, the delicious nut pieces will be gone sooner than you think!

What is the difference between walnuts, Brazil nuts and pecans?

Botanically speaking, pecan trees belong to the walnut family. The external similarity of the pecan to the walnut is therefore no coincidence. On the other hand, the pecan has little in common with the Brazil nut. Sure, they are both nuts - but that's about it. For example, the Brazil nut is super hard to open, while the pecan has a soft shell.

Where can I find delicious recipes with pecan pieces?

Pecan kernels in broken quality can be used for baking. Inspirations and recipes for a pecan banana bread or a particularly nutty baked apple can be found in our Food Journal. By the way: You can also use the pecan curd as a great topping on savory dishes - why don't you try the wild herb salad?
