Benefits of adding pecans to your recipes

Before we get to the recipes, let’s chat about the star of the show. Pecans pack a punch when it comes to flavor and nutrition:

  • Pecans are rich in monounsaturated fats, the heart-healthy fats also found in olive oil. A handful a day helps keep the cardiologist away!
  • These nuts are a fantastic source of essential nutrients like manganese, zinc, and vitamin E (and so many more). Everyone around you getting sick? Eat some pecans for an immunity boost!
  • Pecans are loaded with dietary fiber, aiding digestion and contributing to that satisfying feeling of fullness. Feel hunger pains between meals? Grab some pecans so your coworkers won’t hear your growling belly.

Not that you really needed more reasons to eat pecan dishes, but those are some great health benefits, right? And that is just a few of the benefits! If you need more, check out this WebMD article.
