Honey-glazed pecans

Honey-glazed pecans are pecan nuts coated with a delicate sweet glaze thanks to honey. These small crunchy jewels are characterized by their slightly sweet flavor and crisp texture, which add a special touch to various sweet and savory recipes.

Origin: The pecan nut is native to North America, especially the United States and Mexico, where it has been valued for its nutritional properties and versatility in the kitchen. Glazing with honey is a common technique to enhance its flavor and add a shiny, sweet finish.

Properties: Honey-glazed pecans not only provide a delicious taste, but are also a good source of healthy fats, fiber, proteins, B vitamins, and minerals such as magnesium and zinc. Honey, in addition, provides natural antioxidants and an extra energizing touch, although it should be consumed in moderation due to its sugar content.

Synonyms in Spanish from Latin America: In different regions, pecans may simply be known as nueces de pecán. In some countries, although it is less common, they may also be called nuez pecana. The honey glaze does not change the name of the fruit, but it can be described as nueces pecanas acarameladas con miel or pecanas caramelizadas.
