Details
Pecans are a native of North America where they are used extensively in ice cream, cakes, nut bread and confectionery. The flavour is rather like a mild, sweet walnut. The plant sterols in pecans help battle heart disease by lowering blood cholesterol levels, and according to research performed at New Mexico State University, a three quarter cup portion of pecans daily can significantly lower LDL cholesterol levels in the blood, helping to clear the arteries.
