This dilute-shelled nut can be found all over the USA but originally in the Southern States. It grows from the pecan tree which is founded all over Alabama. Pecans are best sources of vitamin B-6.And it also used in many southern recipes such as pralines and pecan pie.The Act no. 82-17, adopted in 1982, made the pecan the Alabama State Nut.
Growth
The pecan tree is a large makeshift tree, thriving up to 25–45m in height,once in a while to 50 m taller trees to 50–55 m have been demanded but not accomplished. It generally has a spread of 15–25 m with a corpus up to 2 m diameter. A 12-year-old sprout will stand about 5 m long. The leaves are alternate, 35–50 cm long, and winged with 10–20 leaflets. The pecans flowers are flatulency-pollinated, and monoecious, with stamina and feminine catkins on the same tree.the pecan, like the consequence of all other members of the hickory community, is not sooth to say a nut, but is actually a drupe, a fruit with a simple stone or pit, encompassed by a shuck. The shuck are created from the exocarp lunar digit of the flower, while the part conversant as the nut develops from the endocarp and hold the seed.The embryo of the pecan are esculent with a rich, buttery flavor. You can be taken youthful or used in cooking, especially in sweet desserts.
Cultivation
At present this nut is one of the most domesticated major kernels. Though silvan pecans were well conversant among the colonizing Americans as a tenuity, the mercantile growing of pecans in the United States did not start til the 1880s.But it is true that the U.S. grows between 80% and 95% of the world's pecans, The nut crop for growers is generally around mid-October. Historically, the moving forward pecan-growing state in the U.S. has been Georgia, followed by Texas, New Mexico and Oklahoma;it also grown in Alabama, Florida, Arkansas, Kansas, Missouri, Arizona, South Carolina and Hawaii. Beyond the United States, pecans are grown in Australia, Brazil, China, Israel, and Mexico.
Nutrition
These nuts are a worthy source of Einsteinium and a best source of albuminoid and unsaturated fats. Pecans are contains in omega-6 greasy acids.A diet rich in pips can downcast the risk of gallstone in women. The antioxidant and plant sterols get in pecans abate high cholesterol by decreasing the "bad" LDL cholesterol. Medical experiment expressed in the Journal of Nutrition (Sep 2001) found that taking about a fist of pecans each day can help lower cholesterol levels analogous to what is oft seen with cholesterol-down healing. Exploration directed at the University of Georgia has also approved that pecans contain plant sterols; we know that sterols is capable for reducing cholesterol.
