National Pecan Torte Day

August 21st is National Pecan Torte Day in the US.

Most sources seem to agree that this day is celebrated on August 21st, but some differ and have it as August 22nd.

Pecans are a type of culinary nut from the pecan tree, which is a species of hickory native to south-central and south-eastern United States as well as Mexico. Pecans are a culinary nut, as they are not a true nut, but rather a drupe, which is a single stone that is surrounded by the husk. The stone is the part that is referred to as a nut.

Tortes are a type of dessert cake that is normally, but not always, layered and can be filled with a variety of different toppings, which, after cooling, may be garnished and glazed. In this case, the primary additional ingredient is the pecan, which has a rich, buttery taste.
