Pecans
Exceptional nutritional value
Raw shelled pecan halves, unsalted, values for the kernels.
Pecans are North American nuts eaten as a snack and used in pies, cookies, salads and granola. A 30 g handful has about 210 kcal and 22 g of fat, mostly monounsaturated, but only 3 g of protein, making them one of the fattiest and lowest-protein nuts. They are high in manganese and copper, with some thiamin and zinc. Candied or praline pecans add a lot of sugar.
