Pecans contain over 19 vitamins and minerals - including
vitamin A, vitamin E, folic acid, calcium, magnesium,
phosphorus, potassium, several B vitamins and zinc. Just one
ounce of pecans (a handful or about 20 halves) has more zinc
than a 3.5-ounce piece of skinless chicken. Most good sources
of zinc are foods of animal origin, but pecans offer an
excellent plant-based source. Pecans provide a healthful
source of needed protein, which is essential for proper body
function
