The demand for pecans has evolved over the years, and the nut has multiple products that make your daily life easier. Even after becoming a regular part of American lives, most people don’t know how to pronounce pecan correctly. The word pecan is pronounced “puh-khan,” which is as unique as the nut itself.

You can use cinnamon glazed pecans as a snack, and pecans as topping for your cakes as it goes well with almost all the flavors. They are crushed and added to your ice creams and pancakes and can be used to make a coffee cake.
