Did You Know?

Pecans are quite healthy, and a great addition to any recipe or as a snack.

• Heart health: Rich in monounsaturated fats that can support healthy cholesterol levels.
• Fiber: Helps digestion and can promote fullness.
• Plant protein: Provides a modest amount of protein.
• Antioxidants: High in antioxidants, including vitamin E and polyphenols.
• Minerals: Good source of magnesium, copper, manganese, and zinc.
• Blood-sugar friendly: Their fat, fiber, and protein content can help slow digestion and reduce the blood-sugar spike from carbohydrate-rich foods.
• Very nutrient-dense: A small handful (about 1 ounce / 28 g) provides roughly 190–200 calories, so portions matter.

PS - Don't forget that the best way to store pecans you don't intend to eat within 30-60 days is by putting them in the freezer.
