The Health Benefits of Pecans
Pecans aren't just delicious — they're naturally packed with heart-healthy fats, antioxidants, fiber, and over 19 vitamins and minerals. Research continues to confirm what Southerners have known for generations: pecans are a wholesome, nourishing part of a balanced diet.
Naturally Good for Your Heart
Nearly 90% of the fat in pecans comes from unsaturated sources — the same heart-healthy fats found in olive oil and avocados. Studies show that eating a handful of pecans a day can help lower "bad" LDL cholesterol without affecting weight.
Antioxidant
Power
Pecans are among the top antioxidant foods tested by researchers — even ranking above walnuts and almonds in total antioxidant capacity (ORAC score). Those natural compounds help protect your cells and support long-term health.
Vitamins
and Minerals
Just one ounce (about 20 halves) provides fiber, protein, and more than 19 essential vitamins and minerals — including magnesium, zinc, and vitamin E.
Fuel for
Everyday Life
Pecans are satisfying, naturally sodium-free, and full of plant-based nutrients that help you stay energized. Their combination of healthy fats, fiber, and protein helps keep you full between meals — the perfect snack or recipe ingredient.
"The unique mix of unsaturated fats, plant sterols, fiber and flavonoids all add up to make pecans a superfood for your heart."
