About A handful of pecan pieces

A handful of pecan pieces offers a delicious and nutrient-packed snack derived from the pecan tree native to North America. A staple in Southern and Tex-Mex cuisines, pecans are prized for their buttery texture and natural sweetness, making them a versatile ingredient in both savory and sweet dishes. Pecans are rich in healthy monounsaturated fats that support heart health, as well as antioxidants like vitamin E that help combat oxidative stress. They also provide essential nutrients, including magnesium, fiber, and zinc. Despite their numerous health benefits, pecans are calorie-dense, so portion control is key. A handful—the recommended serving—balances their nutritional perks with mindful consumption. Whether enjoyed raw, toasted, or as part of a recipe, pecan pieces can add flavor and crunch to your meals while promoting overall wellness.
