Abstract

The article discusses the usefulness and history of an edible nut, pecan. As mentioned, pecan is nutritious enough to lower cholesterol and control weight as it is full of proteins, vitamins, antioxidants and heart-healthy fats. Pecan has its roots in Louisiana and it is believed that a slave at Oak Alley Plantation, Vacherie, successfully grafted a superior wild pecan to the existing one that led to the cultivation of other superior genotypes.
