Different functions. Walnuts are generally edible. In addition to being edible, hickory can also be used to extract oil, which can be used as a seasoning for making candy and cakes. Some people also use its natural patterns, shapes and colors to process it into handicrafts.

Pecans are more nutritious. Carya cathayensis is a tall tree with strong adaptability to the environment. Its growth depends entirely on the nutrition of nature, does not need fertility and fertilization, and its nutritional value is higher than that of ordinary walnut.

In addition, the content of linoleic acid and fatty acid in hickory is as high as 88%-96%, while that of common walnut is 86%, so the nutritional value of hickory is higher. At the same time, pecans can also be processed into high-grade refined oil-pecan oil, which has higher quality and richer nutritional value.
