Pecan nuts, kernel only

Pecan nuts are tree nuts, and the figures here refer to the edible kernels only, without the shells. They mainly provide fat, with some protein and a range of vitamins and minerals. Per 100g, pecan kernels provide 2843 kJ of energy, 70g of fat, 9.2g of protein and 130mg of magnesium.

Most of the fat in pecans is unsaturated, although they also contain saturated fat. Their high fat content makes them energy-dense, which is relevant for people monitoring their energy intake. Magnesium supports normal muscle and nerve function, while protein is needed for tissue growth and repair. Full nutritional figures are in the tables below.
