FRESH CHERRYGAL CAROLINA PECANS * IN THE SHELL * BY THE POUND. The Fall 2008 Pecans are dropping now! I am blessed to have a grove of pecan trees. Not only do they provide excellent shade, keeping my southern home a good 10 degrees cooler than the outside, but they give me bumper crops of pecans every year. No chemicals, no pesticides, just warm Carolina sunshine and nature's watering can. CherryGal Pecans are fresh - and properly stored at a temperature guaranteed to keep them fresh. Succulent and sweet! Cleaned and inspected by hand. Sold to you by the pound (in the shell). CherryGal's Pecans have been rated "ABSOLUTELY AWESOME" by my customers. So get yours today while they last!
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!
