Pecan Nuts are taken from the stone of the pecan tree. They can be eaten raw or used in cooking, such as making pecan pie. They are a bit like walnuts.
Pecan Nuts are relatively high in fibre (10%) and like most nuts, are low in saturated fats (6.7%) and relatively high in mono and polyunsaturates (21% and 40% respectively), with an overall fat content of 70%. Pecan nuts are around 10% protein, and a 25g serving provides around 177 calories.
