Pecans
Our premium Georgia pecans are harvested, shelled, and packed right here on the farm. That means you get freshness and flavor straight from the source. With a rich texture and taste, our pecans deliver valuable health benefits, endless recipe options, and the perfect grab-and-go snack. From in-shell pecans straight from the tree to decadent creations from our farm kitchen, we have countless ways to share and enjoy such a bountiful harvest.
RICH IN ANTIOXIDANTS
One of the reasons pecans shine is that they rank highest among all nuts and are among the top category of foods that contain the highest antioxidant capacity. That may sound like a mouthful, but it means that pecans are a phenomenal option to potentially help decrease the risk of cancer, heart and neurological diseases.
In particular, one form of Vitamin E, gamma-Tocopherol, is abundant in pecans. A study at Loma Linda University that was published in the January 2011 issue of The Journal of Nutrition found after doubling this gamma-Tocopherol by eating pecans, bad cholesterol in the bloodstream decreased as much as 33%. The FDA has concluded that scientific evidence suggests, but does not prove, that eating 1.5 ounces per day of most nuts, such as pecans, as part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol, may reduce the risk of heart disease.
Pecans also have twice the amount of flavonoids, another type of antioxidant, than almonds, cashews and pistachios, and more than seven times the amount of walnuts. In our bodies, these flavonoids help with inflammation and allergies, reducing the risk of cancer, asthma, stroke and, again, heart disease. Were you aware of just how great pecans are for your heart?
HEALTHY & FULL OF MINERALS
The minerals found in pecans are just as beneficial as the antioxidants. Manganese, for example, helps regulate blood pressure and promotes healthy bones. Pecans provide 60% of the daily value of manganese. It also helps to promote cell regeneration and collagen, making it beneficial for your skin and hair health. Pecans also have significant anti-aging properties. Pecans provide 40% of the daily value of copper, which helps your body absorb iron and create red blood cells. Pecans are also a significant source of zinc. The presence of both of these minerals help boost your immunity, energy, focus, and digestion, which all positively impact your overall health.
Packed With Fiber
Pecans are a great source of fiber. Fiber is most popularly known for helping with digestion, but it also aids in lowering cholesterol and maintaining blood sugar levels. This can lead to losing and/or maintaining weight, lowering the risk of diabetes and heart disease, decreasing inflammation, and improving gut health.
In fact, one cup of pecans has about 10 grams of fiber. Daily, at least 21 to 25 grams of fiber is recommended for women, while men should try to eat 30 to 38 grams a day. Just a handful of pecans gets you one-third to half of the way there!
While we’re thrilled about the simple fact that pecans are delicious - and the excitement of growing farm-fresh Georgia pecans for you for the past 135 years - these powerhouse nuts have so much more going for them than taste alone. Make a mental note: Next time you’re searching the pantry for a healthy snack or trying to get creative with weekly meals, make sure you’ve stocked up on the finest pecans from Pearson Farm.
