Most candied pecan companies use around 50% pecans to 50% sugar and oil ratio. They do this because sugar is cheap and pecans are expensive. Holiday Fried Pecans uses 90% pecan weight, and 10% sugar and oil weight. We do this so you can taste the pecan and not just the sugar. Our fried pecans have 6 fewer grams of fat per serving than a raw pecan. Enjoy!
