You know, I’m so used to cooking and baking with Green Valley Pecans that sometimes I really take them for granted.

I was making these Mexican Wedding CookiesÂ this weekend and realized I was out of Green Valley Pecans. Since I had already started preparing them, I just ran out to the store and picked up a generic bag of pecans. I should have just waited…

It’s not that the recipe was bad; it’s just that I realized there is a real difference between Green Valley pecans and pecans that have been sitting on a shelf in a grocery store for who knows how long.Â The flavor was so different and not nearly as rich as I was used to.

If you still haven’t tried a Green Valley Pecan, you are really missing out. Trust me, I can tell you that from my own personal experience that they are definitely better than anything in the store!
