Roasted Salted Mammoth Pecans
by John B Sanfilippo Son
Quality pecans undermined by inflammatory seed oils and excessive processing. The nuts themselves are nutritious, but the addition of cottonseed and soybean oil creates inflammation risk that outweighs many benefits.
- PECANS – beneficial · Nutrient-dense tree nuts high in monounsaturated fats, minerals, and antioxidants that support heart and brain health.
- VEGETABLE OIL (PEANUT, COTTONSEED, SOYBEAN AND/OR SUNFLOWER SEED) – controversial · Blend of industrial oils high in omega-6 fatty acids that promote inflammation; cottonseed oil contains gossypol residues.
- SEA SALT – safe · Natural salt that enhances flavor and provides trace minerals, generally safe in moderation.
