Pecans are nutrient-rich nuts native to North America, particularly prominent in Southern cuisine. Packed with heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, they support cardiovascular health and help lower bad cholesterol levels. Each serving provides a boost of essential vitamins and minerals, including vitamin E, magnesium, and zinc, which contribute to immune function, bone health, and antioxidant protection. Pecans are also a great source of dietary fiber, promoting digestive health and satiety. While their rich, buttery flavor makes them a favorite ingredient in pies, salads, and snacks, moderation is key—they are calorie-dense due to their high fat content. Their natural sweetness pairs well with both savory and sweet dishes, making them a versatile addition to a balanced diet.
