Pecans, a Treat for Centuries
The pecan is the nut of the pecan hickory tree (Carya illinoinensis) and originally comes from the Mississippi River valleys in the United States. Delicious and richly flavored, pecans have been popular edible nuts for centuries.

The word pecan comes from the languages of the ancient Native Americans and means "a nut that is difficult to crack." Pecans have indeed been eaten among indigenous peoples for hundreds, perhaps thousands, of years.
