NYC LOVES Georgia Pecans!
Participants in the Fitness Magazine Mind, Body and Soul Games stopped by the Georgia Pecan booth for a quick and healthy snack. Pecans are loaded with antioxidants and healthy monounsaturated fats which help reduce inflammation making pecans a perfect post-recovery food. Pecans also contain the plant chemical beta-sitosterol which helps lower cholesterol and may help keep prostate glands’ healthy.

So glad to be able to put pecans up there with walnuts and almonds.
(I say puh-cons’, emphasis on cons…pee’-cans makes me think of–well, look at the phonetic spelling!)
Yes, all three plus pistachios are my “go to” nuts. Hmmmm. Maybe that’s why I shutter when I hear “pee-cans”…LOL!
The more you say it, the more you give away your accent. Everyone says it differently, but you can tell a lot about where a person is from by the way they say the word pecan.
True, unless you are an actor. Huh? Great…now I have a tatste for “Peh-cons”. Thanks a lot! 🙂
