Pecans come from an edible tree nut native to Mexico and the Southern states of the US.
They grow on a species of hickory tree, and they are closely related to hickory nuts.
Regarding their appearance, pecans look slightly like walnuts, but they are smaller in size.
The color of these nuts can also vary, with some nuts having a grey to brown shade and others having a reddish-brown coat.
Pecans taste mildly sweet and they have a rich, buttery flavor.
I enjoy pecans in pies, casseroles, cakes, many foods.
Sprinkle on top of waffles, oatmeal, fudge, divinity candy, brownies, and the list goes on and on.

I like all nuts. Walnuts and pecans are my least favorite.

@CarolDM I love peanuts, almonds, cashews and macadamia nuts...and sometimes hazelnuts.

Sprinkle on top of your tongue, then chew! Ooh, I love pecans!
(And, being a southerner, they are PEE-cans, not pe-CONS.

We don´t have them here although we have other kinds of nut. But when I go to the US I always buy a dessert with pecans.

I love pecans, and I specially love them in pies and brownies. My husband's niece is very good in making pies, and I am requesting her to see if she can make pecan pie with a sugar substitute and sugar-free syrup instead of corn syrup. She said she will try and see if the taste will be the same. I told her I am volunteering as a taste tester.
