are pecans healthy:
Pecans are not just for pies. In fact, studies are showing that there is more to this nut than its delicious taste. Pecans are healthy nuts that come from the pecan tree (Carya illinoinensis), which is a tree primarily grown in North America. In fact, the name âpecanâ was bestowed on this nut by North American Indians to describe the need to use a stone to crack its shell.
