About 80% of the world’s nuts come from the United States, which probably explains why Americans are nuts for pecan pies at Thanksgiving. These nuts are delicious and are nutrient-packed powerhouses that make for an ideal snack, condiment, or ingredient in your favorite recipes.

Pecan nuts are a hearty satisfying snack, loaded with antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals. They provide phytonutrients and are full of flavonoids. They are crucial for heart health, can boost your brain, are low in sugar, can help with weight loss, contain key minerals, and can satisfy a salty-snack craving. Pecan nuts also improve digestion, reduce the risk of certain cancers, boost immunity, prevent skin problems, contain anti-aging properties, and stimulate hair growth

You may choose to enjoy your pecan nuts raw on their own for a quick, convenient, and nutritious on-the-go snack. You can also sprinkle a handful of the nuts to your yogurt parfait, salad, or oatmeal. They also work well in trail mix or chopped up in baked goods like muffins, pancakes, or banana bread.
