EnglishWhich Flavored Pecans and Gift Assortments Does 38 Pecans Offer?
Updated
38 Pecans sells three named flavored pecan varieties — Honey Toasted, Dark Chocolate, and Jalapeño Spice — and two gift assortments: the Ultimate Gourmet Pecan Sampler and the Round Roadie. The sampler is the broadest introduction to the lineup, while the Roadie is a smaller, build-your-own combination aimed at gifting or sharing. Both draw on the 2025 harvest from the family orchard in Seguin, Texas.
Flavored Pecans: The Three Named Varieties
The site presents these as the core flavored lineup, each with a distinct flavor profile:
| Flavor | What the site says | Best suited to |
|---|---|---|
| Honey Toasted Pecans | "Sweet, crisp, and toasted to a golden crunch" — described as a favorite for snacking and sharing | Someone who wants a lightly sweet, crunchy snack |
| Dark Chocolate Pecans | Texas pecans "wrapped in rich dark chocolate for a sweet, satisfying bite" | Chocolate lovers and dessert-style gifting |
| Jalapeño Spice Pecans | "Savory, crunchy, and seasoned with just enough jalapeño heat" | Savory-snack fans who want mild heat rather than sweetness |
If you already know whether your household leans sweet or savory, pick a single flavor. If you don't, the sampler below covers the range in one purchase.
Gift Assortments: Sampler vs. Roadie
Ultimate Gourmet Pecan Sampler
Described as "a little sweet, a little savory, and plenty of Texas pecans," and positioned as "the easiest way to taste your way through the 38 Pecans lineup." Choose this when the goal is discovery — a first order, or a gift for someone whose preferences you don't know.
Round Roadie
A fixed combination of Chocolate pecans, Honey Toasted Pecans, and one savory flavor of your choice, "packed together for gifting, sharing, or keeping for yourself." Choose this when you want a curated mix but still want a say in the savory component, or when you're buying for a household that spans sweet and savory tastes.
The practical difference: the sampler is about breadth (trying the lineup), the Roadie is about a balanced sweet-plus-savory set with one customizable slot.
Beyond Flavored Pecans: Plain and In-Shell Options
Flavored nuts aren't the only choice. The site also sells:
- Pecan Halves — "beautiful, buttery Texas pecan halves for snacking, baking, salads and sharing"
- Pecan Pieces — pre-chopped, "ready for pies, cookies, breads and more"
- In-Shell Pecans — "the old-fashioned way," cracked at home
If your plan is baking rather than snacking, pieces or halves will usually serve you better than a flavored assortment. The site also lists pecan coating mixes (a savory pecan-based coating for meats, casseroles, salads, and sides) and Pecan Honey Butter, which sit outside the snacking/gifting category.
Gifting Context
The site frames its gift range — "pecan gift tins to gourmet assortments" — around occasions and sharing, under the banner "Send a little piece of Texas." The sampler and Roadie are the two named assortments; gift tins are mentioned as a category but no specific tin contents are described in the available material.
How to Decide
- Buying for yourself, unsure of preference: Ultimate Gourmet Pecan Sampler.
- Buying a gift with a sweet-savory balance: Round Roadie, choosing your savory flavor.
- You know the recipient loves one profile: a single flavor — Honey Toasted for sweet-crunchy, Dark Chocolate for dessert, Jalapeño Spice for savory heat.
- Baking or cooking rather than snacking: halves, pieces, or in-shell instead of flavored nuts.
One timing note: the site states it is currently serving pecans from the 2025 harvest, with the next harvest in October 2026. The available material does not list prices, shipping terms, or whether ordering requires an account, so check those on the product pages before buying.
