Pecans are a hearty and healthy snack
Did you know pecans are loaded with nutritious goodness? Yes it's true.
New research on this tasty tree nut tells us they’re rich in chemicals
called anti-oxidants. As such, a daily serving of pecans can help ward
off many diseases. Everything from helping prevent heart disease, to
lowering cholesterol, to weight control, to preventing cancer has been
documented. Pecans are also loaded with phytochemicals, a group of
micro-nutrient chemicals found in plants. These nutrients include
flavonoids, plant sterols and sulfur compounds. In fact, pecans contain
more phytochemicals and have higher anti-oxidant activity than any other
tree nut.

Pecans are a good source of easily digestible protein. Low in
carbohydrates, with a minimal glycemic index, pecans are an ideal snack
food for diabetics. A recent study confirmed pecans contain plant
sterols. These chemicals have a natural cholesterol-lowering ability.
Pecans are low in saturated fat. Instead, they contain mono and
polyunsaturated fats; these are good fats for your heart. They also
contain no bad Trans fat. This makes pecans a heart-healthy snack food.
If you eat pecans for a snack,
you’ll feel fuller longer than if you say, indulged in chips. Pecans
provide long-lasting energy. Plus, a handful of pecans contain the same
amount of fiber as an ordinary apple. A perfect snack food for people
concerned about their weight and their health.
Pecans are sexy!
Pecans are nutrient dense. They contain 19 vitamins and several
minerals. As a bonus, you only need a one ounce serving to achieve 10
percent of the recommended daily value for fiber. Pecans can contribute
to a healthy sex life due to the high amounts of absorbable organic
zinc. Zinc helps your body generate testosterone, a hormone needed by
both men and women.
Quality pecans equals healthy pecans.
Priester's pecans are exceptional quality, freshly harvested at the
height of ripeness and quickly shelled and frozen at the proper
temperature. So not only are you getting a better tasting pecan, but
you're also getting a better for you pecan. Pecans are an ideal

cholesterol, and protect themselves against disease. Pack a handful for
your next lunch or trip.
