Crunchy, buttery, delicious… it’s no wonder pecans are a famous dessert topping.

But beyond yummy, pecan nuts are an excellent source of fiber and unsaturated fats and you know now what that means: improved cholesterol profile, lower risk of heart disease and stroke, better digestion, healthier brain and nerves.

For maximum health benefits, eat pecans regularly but in moderation as they are a high-calorie food.
