In which US state can you find the world's largest pecan?
Answer Texas
The little town of Seguin, Texas, has one big claim to fame: a 16-foot-long, 2,300-pound manmade pecan. The pecan that started it all, however, was a puny five feet and 1,000 pounds. Built by a local dentist in 1962, the nut was an homage to Álvar Núñez Cabeza de Vaca, a Spanish explorer who survived on pecans alone while imprisoned on Texas’ Guadalupe River. For twenty glorious years, Seguinites held exclusive nut bragging rights when it came to big pecan claims. But in 1982, the unthinkable happened: some Missourians built themselves 12-foot-long, 12,000-pound pecan. The dark years that followed finally came to an end in 2011, when some clever Seguin townspeople constructed the 16 footer that sits in its triumphant glory today.
