Description:
The pecan walnut (Carya Illionensis) or pseudo walnut is a tree native to North and Central America. Pecan nuts have played an important role in the diet and cuisine of the various Native American tribes. Pecan nuts are a fruit that has a similar shape to walnuts, but are longer and narrower and differ in taste. Its “buttery” texture and its somewhat sweet taste make it one of the most delicious fruits. The seeds of the pecan can be eaten fresh or used in cooking, particularly in sweet desserts, such as pecan pie, a traditional Southern U.S. dish.
Pecans are also a major ingredient in American praline candy.
