nuts are are a very popular edible nut native to Mexico and North America and
Mexico. Pecans Texas are large deciduous trees that belong to the hickory family. A
pecan has a buttery rich shell - golden brown in color outside and are beige inside.
 The kernel of the nut occupies about 40% to 60% of the space inside the whole
shell. The kernel has a grooved surface and is oval in shape. The nuts have a sweet,
buttery, rich flavor and texture which is attributed to the high levels of
monounsaturated oils

3. Digestive Health Benefits

bowel movements. The fiber enables the colon to work efficiently by cleaning the
gastrointestinal system. Besides, the fiber reduces the risk of colon cancer, colitis,
and hemorrhoids. Fiber also prevents constipation.

8. ALL YOU WOULD WANT TO KNOW ABOUT FARMING PECANS
 Yes, we are going to talk about the tasty nuts- pecans – sometimes also
pronounced “puh-con,” or the distinctively southern pronunciation “pee-can.” It
doesn't matter what you call them, the are the most delicious nuts you can ever
find. I happen to know and understand a number of unusual things about pecan
nuts because I once spent a lot of time on a pecan farm.
 No two pecan pieces are the same. Different trees produce different pecans: some
nuts are round, some are small, some are large, while others are elongated. It's
actually very rare to get the same produce from a given tree each year. There are
some trees that produce very many nuts for one year and then take a break the
next.

9. A Step by Step Guide on How to Shell Pecans
 Whether you are planning to eat the nuts roasted or plain, or you would like to use
them in your favorite pecan pie recipe, the pecans must be cleaned and shelled
before you can use them. Start with the first step in this article on how to extract
the pecan nuts meats from their woody, tough shells.
Preparing the Pecans
 Buy or Harvest some in-shell pecans. Make sure that you choose a variety that is
uniform in shape and size
 Sort your pecans. Sort through all the pecans and then dispose any that have
holes or cracks, or the ones that feel considerably lighter than the others. Discard
those that rattle when you shake them too. These kind of nuts have most likely
gone bad.
 You can boil the pecans. There are some pecan-lovers that claim that boiling the
pecans before cracking them helps loosen the pecan shells.

10.  Prepare your work area. Shelling the pecan nuts can be a very messy job, as many
bits of shells are likely to fly just about everywhere during cracking. Thus it’s best
to set up your work station outside.
Cleaning and Storing the Nuts.
 Clean off the shell materials and debris. Use a toothpick, or a narrow
piece of the pecan shells to scrape out the woody shell material and the
lining from the fissures in the pecan nut meat. A small amount of this
material left in your nut can leave an undesirable bitter taste when you
eat the nut.
