The month of April is feted
as the National Pecan Month, a joyous time to celebrate the "All
American Nut" for its yummy taste and health values. In recent
years, research has shown that pecans are also a great natural source
of antioxidants (vitamin E), fiber, protein, and other vitamins and
minerals.
On April 6, 2001, the goodness
and wholesome of pecans was proclaimed in the U.S. Congressional Record,
and National Pecan Month was established. Even Senator Max Cleland (D-Georgia)
went to the extent of asking his colleagues to join him in celebrating
National Pecan Month, which now takes place in April every year.
