Manganese is essential for energy metabolism, bone formation, antioxidant defence (as a cofactor for the enzyme superoxide dismutase), and the synthesis of connective tissue. Most people don't think about manganese but it plays an important role in metabolic health.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAre pecans and walnuts nutritionally similar?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBoth are tree nuts with high fat content, but they differ in nutritional emphasis. Walnuts are higher in omega-3 ALA and polyphenols. Pecans are higher in manganese, monounsaturated fats, and plant sterols, and have a significantly higher total antioxidant capacity. They also have a distinctly sweeter, buttery flavour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAre these raw or roasted?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRaw and unsalted. To bring out their full flavour, dry-toast in a pan for 3–4 minutes, or roast at 170°C for 8–10 minutes until fragrant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAre they gluten-free?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes — pecans are naturally gluten-free.
