Pecan butter
Pecans are a good source of heart-healthy fats, fiber, and antioxidants, just like the other tree nuts on this list. They may lower blood cholesterol levels and increase insulin sensitivity, or how your cells react to insulin, which lowers the risk of heart disease and type 2 diabetes.
Pecans are rich in vitamin E, carotenoids, and ellagic acid, which both fight free radicals in the body and protect people from infections, cancers, heart disease, and other illnesses. This makes them one of the nuts highest in antioxidants! With only 4 grams of carbs per 2-tablespoon (32-gram) serving, they offer a lower carb count than peanut butter and are also a rich source of magnesium, manganese, and zinc. In most situations where peanut butter would be appropriate, pecan butter can be used instead. It can be spread on toast, added to baked goods, or consumed with fruit and yogurt.
