Pecans are rich in protein, potassium, zinc, vitamin E, magnesium, carbohydrates, and folic acid.
The key to all this nutrition is choosing portions that keep the fat down. One tablespoon of pecans contains forty five calories, but when you mix those nuts with other foods, you get the nutrition and flavor of nuts without many calories. So try toasted pecans on top of pasta, or bake chicken topped with one tablespoon of pecans, or try pecans mixed with dark greens, a teaspoon of feta cheese and a touch of vinegar and oil for a salad beyond compare. So celebrate Pecan Day by enjoying a new taste in your eating plan.
