Although the research proving the pecan's tremendous health benefits may be recent
, pecan-producing trees dotted the landscape long before the discovery of the "New World" and enriched the diets of the native tribes living in the central and southern regions of the United States. Today, pecans are available from coast to coast in nearly every supermarket and experts have confirmed the variety of benefits pecans have to offer. So enjoy some pecans at your next holiday gathering, at the office party, or even while you watch the game!
