Pecan nut

Pecan nuts are the seeds of the pecan tree, which is native to North America. These nuts are usually harvested from the outer husk and cracked open to reveal the edible part inside. Pecans are known for their rich, buttery flavour and are often used in various dishes and desserts.

The production of pecan nuts involves harvesting the ripe nuts, shelling them to remove the outer shell, and then processing them for consumption. The nuts can be eaten raw, roasted, or used in baking recipes to add a crunchy texture and nutty taste.

Pecan nuts are a popular ingredient in many foods due to their delicious flavour and nutritional benefits. They are commonly used in recipes for pecan pie, salads, granola, and cookies. Pecans can enhance the taste and texture of dishes, and their natural oils can contribute to the richness of certain recipes. So, the next time you see pecan nuts on a food label, know that they are adding a touch of nutty goodness to your favourite treats.
