Pecans – Photo and Description from Vegan Venue
Pecans are a vegan pantry ingredient that we sometimes eat as a snack, but mostly use them in baking, commonly as a cookie topping.
About Pecans
Pecan trees are native to the Southern United States and were commercially planted as early as the 1600’s by the Spaniards. The name comes from an Algonquin word for all nuts that have to be cracked open with a stone. We use pecans mostly for top decoration of our oven cakes ( baked pancakes) and fruit cake. We also eat the nuts plain. See nutritional chart below.
