Pecans

Pecans are an excellent tasting nut that can be prepared and eaten in many different ways. Pecans are great for making candies or baking pies, cakes, breads, cookies and muffins and are a deliciously crunchy topping on salads, cereals and ice creams.

Pecans contain antioxidants that are essential to your health. They are rich in many vitamins and minerals including vitamins A and E, copper, potassium, manganese, zinc, folic acid and calcium.

Pecans naturally do not contain any cholesterol or sodium. With so many ways to enjoy them, pecans are easy to incorporate into your diet, not to mention delicious!

Pecans are the only popular nut that naturally grows on the North American continent. Pecan trees are found across the United States and Mexico. About eighty percent of the world’s pecans come from the United States. Pecan trees are extremely large and can grow up to one hundred eighty feet tall! The nut is a dark brown color and about one to two inches long. Pecans are harvested in the autumn but are available all year long.
