Sex drive a little slow
but you just can bring yourself
to swallow an oyster...
There’s a simpler solution...
Pecan nuts!
Apparently, these little nuts
are packed with zinc.
Zinc helps with the production
of testosterone...
There are some other
cool facts about pecans.
More than 19 vitamins
and minerals are hiding in pecans!
(Sounds like a three course meal!)
They can help with weight loss...
our hearts love them...
they’ll help lower cholesterol...
they help stop the
progression of age-related
motor neuron degeneration...
and have I mentioned
antioxidants?
This stunned me...
How many varieties
of pecans are there?
Have a guess...
Higher.
Higher.
Higher.
(Ok, I have no idea
what you are guessing)....
there are over
1000 types of pecans!
They are classified as mammoth,
extra large, large, medium,
small and my favourite...
midget!
Now, this is a little scary
to think about...
We buy a fresh bag
of shelled pecans, right?
Well... before we got them,
the pecans were cleaned,
sized, sterilized, cracked
and then shelled.
Sterilized?
Best not to think about it!
Think of these crazy facts instead:
How many pecans would you need
to make a line
which reaches the moon?
Over 10 billion!
How many pecans would you need
to fill an Olympic-sized
swimming pool?
144 million!
(And I thought I had too much
time on my hands!)
Regardless,
pecans are good for you.
I don’t really like
the texture and taste
of them on their own...
not a big fan of pecan pie...
but willing to eat pecans
covered in ice-cream!
