Description
Organic Pecans are considered to be one of the most antioxidant tree nuts. Native Americans who valued these nuts for their plentiful nutritious content and used them as a medication knew its healthful qualities, especially when the Pecans are activated through soaking to ensure better nutrient absorption.
How Organic Pecans Are Grown
At present, there are many farms that are engaged in growing organic pecans. On these farms, trees are cultivated with the help of environment-friendly techniques such as crop rotation, compost, biological pesticide control, and some others. Synthetic fertilizers and growth-enhancing substances are excluded from the process. As a result, organic nuts do not contain any pesticides, herbicides, or fungicides.
Why Organic Pecans Are Better
All pecans – both organic and non-organic – are a powerhouse of healthful nutrients: protein, carbohydrates, and fat. They are especially rich in minerals – manganese, copper, zinc – and in vitamins. What is more essential – the nuts are packed with antioxidants. Recent studies have revealed the fact that organic pecans are up to 60% higher in the number of antioxidants than non-organic ones.
