In reply to Claire. Pecans are America's only native nut and that's why they are so popular in the U.S. They are an important part of our culinary heritage and worth seeking out on your travels to the U.S. Winning swag and tasting different pecan related items is a fun way to explore Florence, South Carolina. Thanks, Claire

In reply to Mansoureh. So glad you discovered Florence, South Carolina (not to be confused with Florence, Italy) :) Pecan pies come in all sorts of variations and they are quite tasty and rich. The pecan nuts themselves are pretty good. If you've never had them before, they are worth seeking out. Do they make walnut pies in Iran? Would love to taste those in exchange. Thanks, Mansoureh for stopping by.

In reply to Linda. There is so much to explore in Florence and the pecan trail is certainly one of the highlights. Plan to spend enough time to make the most of the amazing pecan related treats and outdoor activities. The warm and welcoming locals will certainly add to your experience. Thanks, Linda.

This is such a fun way to explore the food of a city, and I love how you can earn swag for points! I’m not sure if I’ve had pecans before, they’re not that popular in Europe, but the sweet potato cheesecake topped with pecans sounds amazing!

Now this is different. Not just plantations but a complete trail. All that Pecan cake and pies sound like a perfect way to understand and appreciate the taste of Pecan. Cheers

Wow! I found some interesting in your piece that I was not aware of before. I didn’t know there is a place in the sought of California which is called Florence! I thought Florence in Italy is the only one. I also didn’t know about pecan. I saw pecan in some shops but I have never tried and I always thought it is some kind of walnuts. In Iran, we don’t have pecan and we have walnuts. I want to try pecan pie. It sounds tasty

We really do need to head back to South Carolina for a visit. A White Russian pecan pie sounds perfectly delicious. I can see why it is called “heavenly”. So a visit to Florence may be required. Possible for the annual pecan festival. But the sweet potato cheesecake may be a good reason to visit Tubb’s. Or the Pecan Pie Martini a reason to stop at Victors. I am sure we would enjoy lots of other things in Florence other than eating!

In reply to sherianne. The pecan trail is a really fun idea and a great way to explore the charming city of Florence. The creativity of all the pecan inspired flavors is amazing. Hope you get to South Carolina soon, this experience is a must do!

In reply to Janine Thomas. Truly a fun experience and day. Unfortunately, didn't get a chance to try the pecan martini, too stuffed at that point. However, it looked so good and that is just another reason to back :)
