Pecans

Pecans are the edible nuts of the pecan tree, commonly used in North American and Southern cooking for baking, salads, and snacks; they have a rich, buttery flavor and are often eaten raw or toasted. They are high in fat — about 73.3g per 100g — largely monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, and also provide fiber and minerals like manganese and copper. Pecans contain antioxidant polyphenols and other plant compounds linked with heart-protective effects, but they are energy-dense, so small portions are typical when using them as a garnish or snack.
