Research Supports Eating Pecans as a Heart-Healthy Snack

The International Nut & Dried Fruit Council recently highlighted a study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition showing how swapping regular snacks for pecans can boost heart health! ❤️

In a 12-week study, participants who replaced their usual snacks with 57 grams of pecans per day saw:
✅ Lower total cholesterol
✅ Reduced LDL (“bad”) cholesterol
✅ Decreased triglycerides (blood fat linked to heart disease)
✅ Improved overall diet quality
A simple change = big heart health benefits! Try adding pecans to your daily routine for a tasty, heart-smart snack!

Celebrating Louise Aldridge

At South Georgia Pecan Company, we believe that our success is built on the dedication and hard work of our incredible team members. This week, we had the distinct honor of celebrating the retirement of Louise Aldridge, who has been an invaluable part of our SGP family for an incredible 25 years!

A Legacy of Dedication and Versatility

Throughout her tenure, Louise wore many hats, contributing her skills, passion, and unwavering commitment to our team. Whether she was tackling daily challenges, supporting her colleagues, or bringing her wealth of experience to the table, she played a vital role in making SGP a better place to work. Her ability to adapt, lead, and uplift those around her has left a lasting impression on all who had the pleasure of working with her.

More Than Just a Team Member—A True Friend

Beyond her professional contributions, Louise has been a friend and mentor to many. Her warm personality, contagious laughter, and positive spirit have made a difference in the lives of her coworkers. She has not only helped shape the success of SGP but has also built lifelong relationships along the way.

An Exciting New Chapter

While we will certainly miss her presence in the workplace, we couldn’t be happier for Louise as she embarks on this well-deserved next chapter of her life. She now gets to enjoy more time doing what she loves—traveling with her husband, Hubert, and making precious memories with her grandchildren.

Louise, thank you for 25 years of dedication, hard work, and the countless ways you’ve enriched our team. We wish you all the happiness, relaxation, and adventure that retirement has to offer! You will always be part of the SGP family. Enjoy this exciting new journey—you’ve earned it!
