What's Actually In A Pecan
Good Fats
About 90% unsaturated — the good kind — with zero cholesterol.
Fiber
Nearly 3 grams per ounce, supporting normal digestion.
Antioxidants
Among the most of any tree nut — flavonoids and vitamin E.
Minerals
Standout manganese and copper, plus zinc and magnesium.
Vitamin E
An antioxidant nutrient in every buttery handful.
Low Sugar
Just 1 gram of natural sugar, and none of it added.
A pecan looks simple. Inside, there's a whole lot going on.
The good fats, in great company
That buttery richness comes from the same good fats celebrated in foods like olive oil and avocados — the kind that make a small handful genuinely satisfying. It's why the FDA counts whole tree nuts like ours as part of a healthy diet. Indulgent and wholesome, at the very same time.
What's in a one-ounce handful
About 19 pecan halves — the full breakdown at a glance.
Quietly high in fiber
There's more to a pecan than good fats. Each one-ounce handful brings close to 3 grams of dietary fiber — the kind that supports normal digestion and helps a small serving feel genuinely filling. It's a big part of why pecans are satisfying enough to snack on all on their own, no chaser required.
Superfood, the way nature made it
Long before the word existed, the pecan was already doing superfood things — good fats, antioxidants, fiber, and minerals in one whole, unprocessed nut. Ours come fresh off the tree in Bastrop, the real thing exactly as it grew.
