Pecans
Pecans are the rich, buttery nuts harvested from the pecan tree (Carya illinoinensis), a species native to North America. Renowned for their unique flavor and crunchy texture, pecans are a versatile ingredient in the food industry, used in baked goods, confectionery, snacks, and savory dishes. These nuts are a nutritional powerhouse, providing healthy fats, fiber, protein, and essential nutrients like magnesium and zinc, which support heart health, digestion, and overall vitality. Their distinctive taste and health benefits make pecans a favorite for both indulgent recipes and nutritious diets.
