WHIGHAM, GA (WALB) - A new study shows health benefits of one of south Georgia's top crops.
University of Georgia researchers found pecans are a rich source of natural antioxidants.
In fact, they have more than any other tree nut.
Farmers hope this study will make pecans even more popular than they are today.
"The federal government was very interested to see what those actual values were and to compare them to other nuts so the general public will have some good hard figures on the value of eating pecans," said UGA Cooperative Agricultural Extension Agent Don Clark.
Antioxidants can protect your body against molecules called free radicals that may play a role in heart disease, cancer, and other illnesses.
