pecan
Southern pie filling
A pecan is an edible nut with a rich, buttery flavor, or the North American tree that produces it.
Pecans are native to the southern United States and Mexico, central to regional cuisine: pecan pie, butter pecan ice cream, candied pecans.
The shell is smooth and oblong, easier to crack than most nuts.
