To help you get the most out of pecans, our activation method of long soaking and slowly dehydrating at low temperatures, helps release the bioavailability of their vitamins and minerals. Health experts recommend consuming around 30g of nuts most days of the weeks - that equals around 15 organic activated pecans per day! Here are some advantages of incorporating activated pecans into your diet:
Nutrient-dense: Pecans contain essential vitamins and minerals such as vitamin E, calcium, magnesium, and potassium, as well as dietary fibre and protein.
Heart-healthy: Rich in monounsaturated fats, pecans support heart health by helping regulate cholesterol levels.
Antioxidant-rich: These nuts are packed with antioxidants, which help protect against oxidative stress and promote cellular health.
Weight management: High in protein and fibre, pecans promote satiety and may help prevent overeating.
Blood sugar regulation: Low in carbs and high in fibre, pecans are an excellent choice for maintaining stable blood sugar levels.
