Pecan Nut (250gr)

They are a rich source of energy and contain lots of nutritional benefits. They are rich in mono-unsaturated fatty acid like oleic acid and are an excellent source of phenolic antioxidants. The combination of these two properties helps to decrease total cholesterol and LDL while increasing HDL, the ‘good’ cholesterol. They are packed full of phyto-chemical substances contributing to the overall antioxidant quantity as well as vitamin E, a range of vitamin Bs including folate and minerals like manganese, potassium, calcium, iron, magnesium, zinc, and selenium.

Culinary use

• Raw pecans, like in walnuts, can be eaten either alone, salted or sweetened.

• Pecan nuts are buttery in consistency yet pleasantly sweet in taste. High fat content in them makes them wonderful additions in the preparations of delicious recipes like pecan caramel puddles, pie, fudge, baklava, and muffins.

• The nuts are often sprinkled over desserts, particularly sundaes, and bourbon ice creams.

• They are widely used in confectionery, as an addition to biscuits, sweets, and cakes.

• The nuts are also used to make pecan nut-butter, which is popular spread over bread, toast, etc.
