Pecan Nuts
The Pecan (Carya illinoinensis or illinoensis) is a species of hickory, native to south to central North America, in Mexico from Coahuila south to Jalisco and Veracruz,in the United States from southern Iowa, Illinois and Indiana east to western Kentucky, North Carolina, South Carolina and western Tennessee, south toGeorgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, Oklahoma and Arkansas. "Pecan" is from an Algonquian word, meaning a nut requiring a stone to crack. Pecans are a good source of protein and unsaturated fats. A diet rich in nuts can lower the risk of gallstones in women. The antioxidants and plant sterols found in pecans reduce high cholesterol by reducing the "bad" LDL cholesterol levels.
