Related to the walnut, pecans are native to America. Sweet and rich, the pecan's distinct flavor and texture is the result of its high levels of monosaturated oil - in fact, it is the fattiest of all nuts. It goes well in both savory and sweet dishes.. Pecan trees grow also in the Crimea, Central Asia and the Caucasus. -0-
