FRESH CHERRYGAL CAROLINA PECANS * IN THE SHELL * TEN (10) POUNDS IN THE SHELL. They're back! Fall 2008 Pecans are popping off the trees! No chemicals, no pesticides, just warm Carolina sunshine and nature's watering can. CherryGal Pecans are succulent and sweet! Cleaned and inspected by hand. Ten (10) pounds picked fresh (which happens to fill a usps priority flat rate box to the brim). Price includes shipping. CherryGal's Pecans have been rated "ABSOLUTELY AWESOME" by my customers. So get your order in now to be sure to have fresh pecans for pies this holiday season. Fresh pecans in the shell last a long time if kept in a cool dry environment.
Pecans are one of the healtiest nuts you can eat! Excellent sources of protein and contain energy producing nutrients – carbohydrates. The fat found in pecans is mostly polyunsaturated and contains no cholesterol. Pecans add fiber to your diet and contain iron, calcium, vitamins A, B, and C, potassium and phosphorous. One of the absolute BEST baking and cooking nuts, pecans are wonderful straight out of the shell, added to salads, or sweetened or spiced as a snack. Adding ten large pecan halves to your meal in whatever form will add 65 nutritious calories to your diet!
CRACKING TIP: My pecans are "papershell" pecans - easy to crack and extract whole halves from. Just takes a little practice. Give a pecan a horizontal crack, then two lateral cracks, one on either side of the midline. Then voila! Be sure to remove the reddish brown interior that sits inside the ridges of the meat - it is bitter. And don't throw away those shells! They make a great mulch for your flowerbeds or addition to your compost heap!
