Pecan Nuts, A Source Of B Vitamins, Vitamin E & Energy

These delicious, buttery, rich- flavoured pecans are a great energy providing snack. They are enriched with many health-benefiting nutrients, minerals and vitamins that are essential for optimum health. The nuts are very rich sources of several important B-complex groups of vitamins such as riboflavin, niacin, thiamin, pantothenic acid, vitamin B-6, and folates. Add a hand full of pecan nuts to your diet to keep you feeling fuller for longer.

A member of the hickory family and native to Central and South America, pecans weald antioxidant properties and are rich in oleic acid, the healthy fats that are also found in olives and avocados.

Because pecans are packed full of plant sterols they make a healthy snack choice, as they can help to lower LDL and increase HDL cholesterol in the blood.

We love to add pecans to desserts, biscuits, to top quiches and sprinkle into salads. You could even brush tofu pieces or a chicken breast with a little honey and dust some crushed pecans on the top for a stunningly simple yet delicious new dish.
