  a very popular edible nut native to Mexico and
  North America and Mexico. Pecans Texas are large
  deciduous trees that belong to the hickory

  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

  monounsaturated oils

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.

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.

• 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 its 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.
