Pecans are often an underrated nut. They’re packed with antioxidants and minerals.

The humble pecan is full of incredible nutritional gains including: vitamin A, vitamin B, vitamin E, folic acid, calcium, phosphorus, potassium, thiamin, and zinc!

And that’s not all, an ounce of pecans provides about 10 percent of your Daily Recommended fibre intake. They’re naturally sodium-free and contain natural protein.

Because pecans have a high-fat content, like avocados, they promote heart health through unsaturated fats. They’ve also been linked to helping reduce inflammation, lower cholesterol, and can reduce the symptoms of PMS.

Celebrate the weekend with this healthy and delicious Pecan Waffle recipe the whole family will enjoy!!

HOT TIP: They freeze well too, so you can make a double batch and save some for a healthy grab-and-go snack option during the week.
