Pecan nuts are oilseeds with a mild, buttery flavor and a soft, slightly crunchy texture. Originally from North America, they are known for their rich nutritional profile and versatile use in cooking, both in sweet and savory dishes. Naturally tasty, pecans are widely enjoyed in recipes such as pies, cakes, granola, salads, breads, farofa and even as snacks. From a nutritional standpoint, they are an excellent source of good fats, especially monounsaturated fatty acids, which contribute to cardiovascular health. They are also rich in antioxidants, such as vitamin E and phenolic compounds, in addition to providing important minerals such as zinc, magnesium, phosphorus and potassium. Their fibers help with satiety and good intestinal function.
