About Pecan nut

The pecan nut, native to North America, is a rich and buttery ingredient commonly used in both sweet and savory cuisines, from classic pecan pie to salads and roasted dishes. Packed with essential nutrients, pecans are an excellent source of healthy monounsaturated fats, dietary fiber, and plant-based proteins. They provide vital minerals such as magnesium, zinc, and manganese, supporting bone health and metabolic function, along with powerful antioxidants that help combat oxidative stress. Pecans are naturally low in carbohydrates, making them an appealing choice for keto and diabetic-friendly diets. However, they are calorie-dense, so moderation is key, especially for those watching their intake. Typically enjoyed raw, roasted, or blended into snacks and spreads, pecans are both versatile and nutritious, offering a delicious addition to a balanced diet while promoting heart health and energy throughout the day.
