Visit My eBay Store: Brooks Pecans of GA Here's what the University of Georgia has to say about Elliots: "Elliot has a small, teardrop-shaped nut of extremely high quality. Growers should receive a premium price because of its plump, perfect halves. Percentage fill and specific gravity are high. It bears alternately, but nuts are high quality in the on years. It is excellent as a party nut, and has a distinct hickory nut flavor. Growers should seek those specialty markets that are aware of the merits of this cultivar, otherwise, it might bring seedling prices." Elliot Info   Health Tips 1. A research study conducted at Loma Linda University and published in the September 2001 issue of the Journal of Nutrition has confirmed what many pecan lovers have known all along. Pecans not only taste good, but they are good for you - especially when it comes to lowering cholesterol levels. They found that adding just a handful of pecans to a traditional low-fat, cholesterol-lowering diet can have a dramatic impact on the diet's effectiveness. When the Loma Linda study participants were on the pecan-enriched diet, they lowered their total and LDL ("bad") cholesterol twice as much as they did when they ate the American Heart Association (AHA) Step I diet. Just as importantly, the pecan-enriched diet lowered blood triglyceride levels and helped maintain desirable levels of HDL ("good") cholesterol compared to the Step I diet, which often unfavorably raises triglycerides and usually lowers HDL levels. 2. Pecans can't mend your broken heart, but they can help protect it. The plant sterols in pecans help battle heart disease by lowering blood cholesterol levels, and according to research performed at New Mexico State University, a ? cup portion of pecans daily can significantly lower LDL cholesterol levels in the blood, helping to clear the arteries. The nutrients in pecans ain't so bad for you either -- zinc helps guard against infections, vitamin E protects against cancer, and vitamin A helps keep your complexion clear. Place a Bid!
