Pecans Nutrition Facts
- dry roasted, without salt added -
Pecans are a good source of protein and unsaturated
fats. Like walnuts (which pecans resemble), pecans are rich in omega-6
fatty acids, although pecans contain about half as much omega-6 as
walnuts.
A diet rich in nuts can lower the risk of gallstones in women. The
antioxidants and plant sterols found in pecans reduce high cholesterol
by reducing the "bad" LDL cholesterol levels.

USDA National Nutrient Database for Standard Reference, Release 23 (2010)
Nutrition Note: All values are for 100 grams (3.52
ounces) and for dry roasted nuts. The best nutritional value however is
always obtained from fresh raw nuts, so best try to get fresh nuts. The
longer you store or cook, dry or roast your products the more
nutritional value is lost, so if you need to cook do it short and fast
and always use fresh products. Also If you have special
needs or conditions make sure you consult with your doctor or
nutritionist.
