3. PECAN
There are a growing number of people developing nut allergies in the U.S.. For those of us who can have them, add them to your desserts for added texture and that distinct nutty flavor. Pecans can do much more than just put the finishing touches on a fabulous dessert. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has acknowledged this and related research and approved the following qualified health claim: “Scientific evidence suggests, but does not prove, that eating 1.5 ounces per day of most nuts, such as pecans, as part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol, may reduce the risk of heart disease.”
** Recipe Ideas**
Chocolate Bourbon Pecan Pie
