The pecan is one step closer to becoming the official state nut of Louisiana.
State Representative Lance Harris’ (R-District 25) HB368 to designate the pecan as the official state nut cleared the House on May 16.
If it becomes law, the pecan would be designated as the official state nut and could be used on official state documents and with the insignia of the state.
