Pecan halves are the whole, unbroken pieces of pecan nuts, characterized by their rich, buttery flavor and crunchy texture. These halves are light brown in color with a smooth, glossy surface, and they offer a slightly sweet, nutty taste that is both savory and sweet. Pecan halves are often used in a variety of culinary applications, from baking pies and pastries to adding texture and flavor to salads, granola, or savory dishes. They are also enjoyed as a healthy snack on their own due to their high content of healthy fats, fiber, and antioxidants.
