Pecan

The glossy dark pink shell, which looks as if it has been manicured, and toffee flavoured kernel suggests exactly what this is: a glamorous relation of the gnarled and grumpy old walnut. No bitter aftertaste here – the pecan is a true cutie-pie. Pecan trees originally grew wild and extensively in America, though they are now farmed, mostly in Georgia and Texas.
