PECAN NUTS (PECAN NUTS) PELLETS


Pecans are a type of nut (Carya illinoinensis) that is native to North America and is rich in many essential nutrients, including fiber, copper, thiamine, and zinc. They look like walnuts but are not. Similar flavor, similar uses, but a slightly more elongated shape.
Thanks to their rich, buttery flavor, they're a common ingredient in appetizers, desserts, and main courses. They've been linked to many potential health benefits, including improved blood sugar control, heart health, and brain function. You can enjoy them in moderation as part of a nutritious diet — and in a variety of different recipes.


A handful (28 grams) of pecans contains the following nutrients (source USDA):
  • Calories: 196
  • Protein : 2.5 grams
  • Fat : 20.5 grams
  • Carbohydrates: 4 grams
  • Fiber: 2.7 grams
  • Copper : 38% of the Recommended Daily Intake (RDI)
  • Thiamine (vitamin B1): 16% RDI
  • Zinc : 12% RDI
  • Magnesium: 8% RDI
  • Phosphorus: 6% RDI
  • Iron: 4% RDI


Significant potential benefits of eating pecan nuts

  • Improves heart health
    Pecans are an excellent source of monounsaturated fatty acids, a type of fat that may benefit heart health.
  • They are important for the immune system.
    Pecans provide phytonutrients, plant compounds that have powerful antioxidant benefits. They are also a good source of zinc, vital for the growth and function of immune cells.
  • Stabilizes blood sugar
    Some research shows that pecans may promote better blood sugar control, which may be due in part to their fiber content.
  • Promotes brain function
    Pecans are packed with nutrients that may benefit brain function, including mono- and polyunsaturated fatty acids.
  • They are full of flavonoid antioxidants.
    According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, pecans have more flavonoids — a type of antioxidant found primarily in vegetables and fruits — than any other nut. People who eat diets rich in flavonoids are less likely to develop chronic conditions, such as heart disease, diabetes, certain cancers, and cognitive decline.
  • They help with weight loss.
    While it's true that nuts are high in fat, the kind found in nuts and fruits (like olives) can actually promote weight loss and maintenance. That's because nuts are a hearty source of oleic acid, a fat that makes you feel full while also boosting heart health.
  • They contain essential minerals.
    Pecans are an excellent source of manganese and copper, two minerals that boost overall metabolic health, may contain anti-inflammatory properties, and may potentially help reduce the risk of heart disease. The added benefit: These nutrients have shown promise specifically for preventing high blood pressure.


How to add pecans to your diet
Pecans are packed with essential nutrients and can be a great addition to a well-rounded, healthy diet. Just be sure to pay attention to your portion sizes and stick to about 1 handful (28 grams), or about 20 pecan halves, at a time.
Try sprinkling a handful of these delicious nuts on your next yogurt parfait, salad, or oatmeal for extra crunch and nutrients. Also try them in baked goods like muffins, pancakes, or cakes. Alternatively, enjoy raw pecans on their own for a quick, convenient, and nutritious snack on the go.
