Raw PECAN NUTS -

The pecan is a nut of North American origin, which is often used in cooking for its sweet, high-fat taste. Pecans have a hard shell that must be cracked open to reveal the nut inside. The pecan nut is the fruit of the pecan tree, a tree native to North America. The pecan nut is an exotic variant of our nut. Pecans are often eaten raw, roasted, or used as an ingredient in a variety of sweet and savory dishes, such as pecan pies, pecan brownies, and salads. In terms of taste, they are related and with its sweet nutty aroma, the pecan nut, which is sweeter than its cousin, brings a change to everyday life. Pecan kernels are ideal to add to muesli or, lightly toasted, a salad. The delicate pecan also cuts a fine figure with cheese or desserts. Very popular in North America, pecans can be eaten plain or grilled as an aperitif like peanuts. Pecan pie is a classic pie in American cuisine, which is often served during the holiday season. It is made with a pie crust, a mixture of maple syrup, sugar, butter and eggs, and pecans. The pie is baked in the oven until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown. It can also be incorporated into certain desserts such as brownies or cookies. Crushed on a scoop of vanilla ice cream or prepared in a pie, the pecan nut offers a subtle flavor. Finally, it goes very well with chocolate. Pecans can also be used in savory dishes, like this chicken salad. It is made with grilled chicken, lettuce, apples, blue cheese and toasted pecans. Everything is seasoned with a mustard and honey vinaigrette. Pecans are a great addition to homemade granola. For this recipe, all you need to do is mix rolled oats, chopped pecans, chia seeds, honey and coconut oil. Everything is then baked in the oven until crispy.
