National Pecan Torte Day

The history and origin of National Pecan Torte Day are anonymous still. In general, a torte is a rich, multilayered cake that is invariably denser and is naturally delicious and creamier. Unlike cakes, tortes will be frosted between the layers and filled with mousses, buttercreams, jams, or fruits. When it comes to Pecan Torte, then it will usually be topped with glaze, fruit, or pecans. The Pecan Tortes are made with very little flour and substituted with pecans and breadcrumbs. They get the lightness with the use of whipped egg whites that give tortes a perfect structure and airiness. The more expensive ingredients used in preparing a torte of the highest quality include fine chocolates and liqueur. As pecans are no stranger to America, which is referred to as the state tree of Texas, which is commonly known as the lone-star state. Pecan Tortes are particularly widespread and well-known in the southern region of the USA. Pecan is rich in nutritional values as it has protein, manganese, and oleic acid, an Omega-6 fatty acid. It reduces cholesterol, coronary heart diseases, and gallstone formation. Pecan has ellagic acid, antioxidant, vitamin B-complex, and contains beta-carotene. Vitamin E, lutein, and zeaxanthin are some other active components against cancer and other infectious diseases. Having Pecan Torte in your routine is worth noting, as so is the celebration.
