Pecan
Pecans are native to North America and have been a part of the continent's cuisine for centuries. The first recorded recipe for pecan pie dates back to the early 1800s, and the dish has since become a Southern staple. Pecans are also commonly used in pralines, a candy that was invented in New Orleans in the late 1700s.
Pecans are a versatile ingredient that can be used in sweet or savory dishes. In the South, pecan pie is a popular dessert, and the nut is also used in pralines, a candy that was invented in New Orleans. Pecans can be used in savory dishes as well, such as pecan-crusted chicken or fish.
Pecans are a nutritious food that is high in healthy fats, protein, and antioxidants. Pecans are also a good source of fiber and vitamins A, B, and E.
