What did Native Americans use pecans for?
By the year 1762, North American Indians had carried pecans from their native habitat throughout the southern United States and the Atlantic Seaboard. In addition to eating the pecan nutmeats fresh from the trees, the Indians also took the pecan kernels, pounded them with stones and added them to boiling water to make seasoning for foods such as venison broth, hominy and corn cakes.
