Organic pecans

There is probably no pair of nuts more easily confused than pecans and walnuts.
Firstly, they belong to different genera and have different flavour profiles; pecans are sweeter and buttery, while walnuts have a more robust, earthy flavour. In terms of appearance, pecans are generally more oval and reddish-brown, while walnuts are rounder and have a lighter, beige shell. Furthermore, the culinary uses of the two nuts differ, with pecans often used in sweet dishes such as cakes, while walnuts are mostly used in savoury dishes such as salads and pesto. Finally, their nutritional profiles differ, as pecans tend to be higher in fat and calories while walnuts are higher in omega-3 fatty acids.
Pecans are also known as pecan nuts. Their rich, buttery flavour and natural sweetness make them a delicious and filling snack.
