New Mexico Department of Agriculture Conducts a Technical & Educational Seminar on American Pecans

Detailing the health benefits of Pecans, Dr. Richard Heerema from New Mexico State University said, We are all aware of the modern-day stress and challenges that we go through everyday. Pecans fit in well here as it's a complete guilt-free snack - an anytime, anywhere snack giving you the right nutrients to stay active and healthy especially for people on the move! Besides having it as a snack, delightful and innovative recipes can be dished out with pecans as they are tasty, nutritious and crunchy. They enhance the taste, flavour and give huge opportunity to innovate and decorate the dishes. Globally too, people are looking at plant-based protein sources and Pecans are just the perfect choice! Initially, pecans were only used for garnishing. We look forward to seeing continued growth as we move into the future.
