National Pecan Cookie Day in USA
National Pecan Cookie Day in USA is held on September 21. This event in the third decade of the month September is annual.
The U.S. produces about 80 percent of the world's pecan crop. Before a shelled pecan is ready to be sold, it must first be cleaned, sized, sterilized, cracked and finally, shelled.
The butter pecan is a very soft crumbly cookie containing pecan – a soft nut. The interplay of sweet and salty flavours makes it so popular.
Texas adopted the pecan tree as its state tree in 1919.
