All about pecan nut > Health & Nutrition

The rich, nutty taste of pecans can enhance the flavor of any dish. But more than just a savory sensation, pecans contain more antioxidants than any other nut, making them a healthy immunity-boosting ingredient. A one-ounce (28 g) serving of pecans (19-20) halves contains 196 calories, almost 3 grams of dietary fiber and more than 19 vitamins and minerals, including vitamins A and E, and the minerals calcium, potassium and zinc. They are also an excellent source of oleic acid, the same type of heart-healthy fat found in olive and canola oils which can help lower "bad" LDL cholesterol levels.
