We have Almonds
All Almonds are the same right? At a quick glance almonds look
just about the same, but they are not. There are a few different
types. The types of almonds are Price, Peerless, Fritz, Sonora,
Monterey, Mission, Padre, Butte, Carmel, and Nonpareil. That is
a lot of different kinds. At Arroyo Seco we provide the highest
quality nut we can. This is why we carry Nonpareil. Part of what
makes Nonpareil so special is the fact that the almonds are
first to bloom and first to harvest. The harvesting of all other
almonds are based off of when the Nonpareil are harvested.
Walnuts
Just like almonds Walnuts have more than just one type. Most of
the walnuts that are packaged are Chandlers. Chandler was a
professor at U.C. Davis who introduced the walnut to the market
in 1979. In the chandler family they can be different colors.
There is Amber, Light Amber, Light, and Extra Light. Here at
Arroyo Seco we prefer to use Light because it has a full color
and has a great flavor. Like all of our other items we choose to
not use preservatives on our products. We feel that the more
natural nut we can bring the better.
Do not forget the Pecans
Pecans what else is there to know. Well pecans are based off of
size and grades. The two largest sizes are Mammoth and Junior
Mammoth. The sizing is based off of how many halves a pound
yields. We use the Junior Mammoth because the yield is between
251-300 halves per pound. Grades are given for golden, damaged,
and defects. The grades are Fancy, Choice, Standard, and
Damaged. Taking pride in quality we choose to use Fancy. We feel
that our customers should have the best pecans out there.
Full Line
Not only do we the three main nuts we also have: Filbetrs
(Hazelnuts), Raw Sunflower Kernel, Cashews, Pine Nuts, and
Pignolia ( European Pine Nuts).
Preservatives
At Arroyo Seco we feel that our customers deserve the highest
quality product with as little added as possible. We decided
that we would nitrogen flush our packaging to remove the air
from the package without harming the quality of the product
inside. Just because there is a way to make the nuts last longer
does not mean we want to add preservatives and damage the
quality. The fresher the better.
Peanut FREE
At Klein Brothers we are Proud to be one of the Peanut Free
Facilities in the world. We understand just how important it is
to our consumers that they eat a food safe product.
Healthy Living:
Scientific evidence suggests but does not prove that eating 1.5 ounces per day of most nuts such as almonds, as part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol may reduce the risk of heart disease.
