Like all nuts, pecans contain enzyme inhibitors that can irritate the mouth and cause digestive problems. Native Americans understood this because they ground the nuts and soaked them in water to make a nutritious milky drink much as European farmers made a milk from walnuts. Pecans contain 70% fat which is mostly mono-unsaturated oleic acid. This is a stable oil which protects pecans from rancidity and gives them good keeping qualities.
