7 AMAZING BENEFITS OF PECAN NUTS FOR SKIN, HEALTH
AND HAIR
  • Pecan nuts have become very popular as a
    nutritious and crunchy snack. Pecan nuts are are
    a very popular edible nut native to Mexico and
    North America and Mexico. Pecans Texas are large
    deciduous trees that belong to the hickory
    family. A pecan has a buttery rich shell - golden
    brown in color outside and are beige inside.
  • The kernel of the nut occupies about 40 to 60
    of the space inside the whole shell. The kernel
    has a grooved surface and is oval in shape. The
    nuts have a sweet, buttery, rich flavor and
    texture which is attributed to the high levels of
    monounsaturated oils

3
Digestive Health Benefits
  • The fiber in pecan nuts promotes colon health and
    also facilitates the regular bowel movements. The
    fiber enables the colon to work efficiently by
    cleaning the gastrointestinal system. Besides,
    the fiber reduces the risk of colon cancer,
    colitis, and hemorrhoids. Fiber also prevents
    constipation.

4
Cardiovascular Health Benefits
  • Pecan nuts are very rich in fiber. Fiber boosts
    the health of your heart by reducing the risks of
    heart disease (coronary) and also prevents some
    forms of cancer. The nuts also contain
    monounsaturated fats that are very healthy for
    your heart and can help prevent strokes and
    coronary artery disease.

5
Helps in Weight Loss
  • Medical research has indicated that diets
    comprising of nuts e.g pecans helps the body in
    losing weight. This is because consumption of
    nuts increases metabolism and enhances satiety.

6
Bone and Teeth Health
  • Phosphorus is a very abundant mineral in the
    body. About 85 of phosphorus is found in teeth
    and bones the other 15 is found in tissues and
    cells. Besides cleansing body waste, phosphorus,
    along with calcium, do promote the health of your
    teeth and bones. Phosphorus is also very vital
    for the repair and growth of tissues and cells as
    well as production of RNA and DNA. It also
    prevents muscle pain that occurs due to
    exercising.

7
Reduces the Risk of Breast Cancer
  • Pecan nuts contain oleic acid, which is a fatty
    acid that has been found to reduce the risks of
    breast cancer.

ALL YOU WOULD WANT TO KNOW ABOUT FARMING PECANS
  • Yes, we are going to talk about the tasty nuts-
    pecans sometimes also pronounced puh-con, or
    the distinctively southern pronunciation
    pee-can. It doesn't matter what you call them,
    the are the most delicious nuts you can ever
    find. I happen to know and understand a number of
    unusual things about pecan nuts because I once
    spent a lot of time on a pecan farm.
  • No two pecan pieces are the same. Different trees
    produce different pecans some nuts are round,
    some are small, some are large, while others are
    elongated. It's actually very rare to get the
    same produce from a given tree each year. There
    are some trees that produce very many nuts for
    one year and then take a break the next.

A Step by Step Guide on How to Shell Pecans
  • Whether you are planning to eat the nuts roasted
    or plain, or you would like to use them in your
    favorite pecan pie recipe, the pecans must be
    cleaned and shelled before you can use them.
    Start with the first step in this article on how
    to extract the pecan nuts meats from their woody,
    tough shells.
  • Preparing the Pecans
  • Buy or Harvest some in-shell pecans. Make sure
    that you choose a variety that is uniform in
    shape and size
  • Sort your pecans. Sort through all the pecans and
    then dispose any that have holes or cracks, or
    the ones that feel considerably lighter than the
    others. Discard those that rattle when you shake
    them too. These kind of nuts have most likely
    gone bad.
  • You can boil the pecans. There are some
    pecan-lovers that claim that boiling the pecans
    before cracking them helps loosen the pecan
    shells.

  • Prepare your work area. Shelling the pecan nuts
    can be a very messy job, as many bits of shells
    are likely to fly just about everywhere during
    cracking. Thus its best to set up your work
    station outside.
  • Cleaning and Storing the Nuts.
  • Clean off the shell materials and debris. Use a
    toothpick, or a narrow piece of the pecan shells
    to scrape out the woody shell material and the
    lining from the fissures in the pecan nut meat. A
    small amount of this material left in your nut
    can leave an undesirable bitter taste when you
    eat the nut.
