Unshelled, the pecan looks nothing like its distant relative in the family. Pecan kernels are oblong, the shell is dark, and the kernel itself has the beige shades common to nuts.
Recipes with pecans mostly involve various desserts: pies, pastries, chocolate products. Crushed pecans are served over ice cream and are always in demand. The other kinds of dishes that include pecans don't belong to desserts and dilute the stacks of dessert recipes. In almost any cooking, the pecan plays the role of an extra, sometimes even entirely optional ingredient, enriching food with its taste, aroma and beneficial elements. Pecans are often eaten raw. On a diet menu it is served only this way, and no other.
It is better to use nuts that have only recently been shelled in a pecan dish. It's all about the product's shelf life. It's wiser to store pecans, like other nuts, unshelled. Protected naturally by the shell, they stay edible much longer. Since this nut originally grew in the forests of North America, people there have eaten it for several centuries running. As a result, a substantial share of recipes with pecans are of American origin.
