11% RDA Fiber + Healthy Fats

This valuable nut packs quite a nutritional punch. According to the International Tree Nut Council Nutrition Research & Education Foundation, a 1-ounce serving of pecans provides 11 percent of the daily recommended intake of dietary fiber. They are also a great source of healthy fats, as 60 percent of the 20 grams of total fat found in a 1-ounce serving is from monounsaturated fat while 30 percent is from polyunsaturated fat.
