Currants
Currants, are much smaller than raisins and have a tart taste. These Zante Currants are delicious in cakes, jams, and other dishes.
Dark Raisins
Deliciously sweet dried grapes. Raisins are high in iron. Excellent for snacks. Even the kids love them. Great for baking as well.
Georgia Pecans (Raw, No Shell)
Just picked from the tree, we're not about to mince words over our pecans. At Nuts.com, we know our nuts, and these pecan halves are mammoth in size and taste. Pecan pie anyone?
