PECANS – GOOD FOR YOUR HEART, BODY, AND SOUL
Studies have shown that eating a single serving of pecans daily can help avoid heart disease by inhibiting the oxidation of lipids in blood.
Pecans also provide a high level of healthy fats. With monounsaturated, polyunsaturated, zero trans fats, and no cholesterol, pecans lower total cholesterol, decrease “bad” LDL cholesterol, and elevate “good” HDL cholesterol.
The level of vitamins packed into the pecan is astounding, with 19 different vitamins and minerals. These nutrients include Vitamins A and E, folic acid, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, numerous B vitamins, and zinc. The protein content of pecans comes without sodium, cholesterol, or many harmful carbs. One daily serving (one ounce or ¼ cup) of pecans offers an amazing 10% of the recommended fiber consumption.
In addition to protecting from heart disease, pecans can help manage blood sugars, lose weight, lower blood pressure, improve immunity, lessen inflammation, prevent age-related diseases, reduce the risk of developing cancer, and enhance brain health.

DO YOUR HEART GOOD WITH PECANS
Eating pecans is easy. In fact, moderation might be the tricky part! A handful is approximately one serving (15-20 pecan halves), so they’re the ideal on-the-go snack. Keep them available and handy to make good choices the norm rather than the exception.
Pecans can be roasted, seasoned, and tossed into various dishes for crunch and flavor, and they can be incorporated into a ton of recipes to heighten the health profile of the meal.
PECAN STORAGE SUGGESTIONS
Storing your pecans at home is simple. All you need are airtight containers – glass, plastic, or Ziploc bags. Already-shelled pecans can be kept in a container in the refrigerator for a couple of months, and if you need to store your supply for longer than that, place them in the freezer – for up to one year.
