Pecan nut

More antioxidants than any other nut.

Information

Pecans are particularly popular because of their subtle, nutty-sweet taste.

The nut is also extremely nutritious. The proportion of valuable unsaturated fatty acids is very high at over 85 %. They are also full of minerals such as iron, potassium, copper, manganese and zinc as well as vitamin B1, pantothenic acid, folic acid and biotin. Its richness in fiber and antioxidants is a big plus for its marketing as a true premium ingredient.

This healthy nut has a wide range of applications in the food industry. With its fine, mild taste, the original American pecan nut enriches snacks, cereals, chocolate, ice cream and baked goods, for example.
