38 customer reviews Â». Pili nuts are a rich buttery tasting nut grown in the volcanic soil of the Philippine peninsula. High in protein, calcium and potassium, pili nuts are a healthy snack with a delicious flavor. They also make a wonderful addition to desserts and baked goods.
The outer husk is 3â4 mm (0.12â0.16 in) thick, starts out green and turns brown at maturity, at which time it splits off in four sections to release the thin-shelled nut. The seeds of the pecan are edible, with a rich, buttery flavor. They can be eaten fresh or used in cooking, particularly in sweet desserts. One of the most common desserts with the pecan as a central ingredient is the pecan pie, a traditional Southern U.S. dish. Pecans are also a major ingredient in praline candy.
