Raw pecan halves have a very rich flavor and are high in manganese. Try making a classic pecan dish, such as pecan pie or candied pecans. Pecans are also a fun addition to waffles and are fantastic in salads or salad dressings!

Although high calories and fat, pecans are still good for you – especially men. Pecans contain beta-sitisterol which aids in the relief of an enlarged prostate.
