Pecans belong to the same family as the walnut and have the same distinctive texture and shape, but have a slightly sweeter taste.
 
Pecans are a rich source of fibre and provide a significant amount of Vitamin E and B vitamins. They are also a good source of vital minerals such as magnesium, iron, calcium, selenium, and zinc.
 
Pecan nuts are great as a snack, in cakes, pies, deserts and cookies,  in homemade trail mixes, in muesli and porridge and salads.
