Health Benefits
Pecans are a good source of calcium, magnesium, and potassium, which help lower blood pressure. Majority of the fat in pecans is a healthy type called monounsaturated fat. Eating monounsaturated fat instead of high saturated fats (like potato chips) can help lower levels of bad LDL cholesterol. Keeping your LDL cholesterol low cuts down your risk of having a stroke or heart attack. Pecans include Vitamin A, Vitamin E and zinc, which all support your immune system and can help the body fight off infections. Pecans are fiber-packed and help promote colon health and facilitate regular bowel movements. This delicious nut also has anti inflammatory benefits and helps eliminate toxins inside of the body that can cause breakouts, dullness and excess oil, possibly resulting in an improved appearance of your skin.

How to Store and Select
In order to keep pecans fresh place them in an airtight container and store them in the refrigerator or freezer. Bring the pecans to room temperature or cook them right away whenever you are ready to indulge in them, no need to thaw them. Shelled pecans can be kept in the refrigerator for about nine months and when stored in the freezer can last for about 2 years. It is best to use sealed plastic bags when storing pecans in the freezer. Do not expose pecans to direct sunlight or light as this may reduce the shelf life. Freeze your pecan in serving size bags, this way you can take out only what you will use and extend the shelf life of your pecans.
