Pecans come from a tree called the pecan tree, which is native to southern North America. It is a massive tree with hard reddish-brown wood. It is grown all over the world, yet it is a rarer type of nut. The nuts are hidden in a hard shell, which is why in the Native American language 'pecan' means 'it takes a stone to break it'.
