The Particulars of Pecans

Despite 2006 being a smaller crop year for southern Pecans, experts agree the quality of this year's pecans are higher than normal, and consumers should expect to receive large, meaty and sweet tasting pecans from NutsOnline.com

In addition to being a favorite holiday food, the pecan is also known as a heart healthy nut. Pecans are naturally high in antioxidants, packed with nutrients and contain the "good" type of unsaturated fat. Several medical research studies have shown that adding pecans to a traditional low-fat, cholesterol-lowering diet can help reduce the presence of bad cholesterol (LDL) and helps maintain desirable levels of good cholesterol (HDL).
