Walnut Pecan

Nut Pekan in our country does not grow and therefore, probably, is considered exotic. But North Americans consider it an inalienable food of their food. Dishes with him are prepared in every home, not only on public holidays, but also on weekdays.

Even before Columbus discovered America, the indigenous inhabitants of this continent considered the pecan their own nut that is the main food, which, unlike meat, was always at hand and practically did not deteriorate. And if hunting does not always end successfully, then these fruits can always be collected and even stored for future use: their shells, like natural hermetic packaging, reliably protects the inner contents from pests.

And when the Indians were finishing their food, Pecan nuts came to their aid: they could be safely exchanged for any food.

Aborigines even tried to select this fruit: they planted walnut groves around their villages.

Walnut Pecan, unlike other of its counterparts, quickly gives fruit: literally seven years later, the Indians were already engaged in selecting the best specimens, which have a larger core and thinner shells.

This exotic fruit for us has a very nutritious and energetically very valuable milk, which is obtained by thoroughly rubbing the nuclei in a mortar and mixing the resulting mixture with water. Indians with this tender milk mass fed children, sick, elderly and teenagers. It was this, in their opinion, that helped these people to recover, and to the growing organism - to gain strength and gain strength.

This property of this nut would be very useful to our adherents of a healthy lifestyle, however, alas ... Pecan does not grow in us, but to get milk we need the freshest fruits.

In appearance, it resembles an olive tree. It is no coincidence that it is also called "olive-nut", although in purified form it is more like a traditional Greek. He has the same form of "brain with convolutions," but to Pecan's taste the nut is much softer, tastier and more tender.

Another difference is that inside this fruit there are no partitions, which greatly facilitates the cleaning process.
