Pecans are indigenous to the United States and grow on trees throughout the southern United States, particularly in Georgia, Texas, and New Mexico. It is also the official state tree of Texas. The earliest evidence of pecan use dates back to 6750 bc...when Native Americans gathered and used nuts. The term ‘pecan’ is said to have originated from the Native American word ‘pacane,’ which refers to nuts that are difficult to break. Unlike pies, tortes are known for their width, short stature, and denseness. These desserts avoid chemicals, relying instead on whipped eggs to rise​​. You can fill them with anything...but today you should fill 'em with pecans.
