Pecans have been certified as a “Heart-Healthy Food” by the American Heart Association
Pecans have a distinctly sweet and buttery flavor, and a mildly floral, foresty aroma. The outside of the nut is slightly bitter and the flesh within is sweet, buttery, and almost fatty. The nut itself can crumble, almost like a cookie. 
Store at room temperature or in refrigerator for a longer shelf life.
