Shelled Pecan Nuts 250 g TARGROCH Why is it worth eating them? Although pecan nuts look very similar to walnuts, they are unfortunately not suitable for cultivation in our climate. They are native to North America and Mexico. They were known to the Native Americans, but in their language the word "pecan" means something difficult to crush. These nuts are oval in shape, wavy, and their outer shell is a slightly shiny brown. Pecans are among the most caloric, but also the healthiest nuts. They contain vitamins C, E, K, and B1. They are rich in minerals such as phosphorus, zinc, magnesium, iron, potassium, and manganese. They also eliminate the effects of free radicals, strengthening the immune system and delaying the aging process. Like other nuts, they are a source of healthy fats and reduce cholesterol. To enhance the health benefits of pecans, you can soak them in water and let them sit for a few hours. Taste and Uses Their flavor is delicate, buttery, and slightly sweet.
