About Nuts, pecans
Pecans are the rich, buttery, slightly sweet nuts native to North America, with a softer, oilier character than their walnut cousins. Famous as the heart of pecan pie and praline, they're equally good toasted into salads and bakes or eaten on their own.
They're among the highest-fat nuts, which makes them especially calorie-dense, but that fat is largely the heart-healthy monounsaturated kind. Pecans also deliver fiber, manganese, copper, zinc and a strong dose of antioxidants — they rank among the highest-antioxidant nuts.
Buttery and indulgent, pecans are a treat of a nut; their richness means a small handful satisfies, which is just as well given how easy they are to keep eating.
