Desirable In-Shell Pecans

There’s something rewarding about the process of cracking open nature’s packaging and enjoying the results of your efforts, a Pearson Farm fresh pecan. The Desirable pecan certainly lives up to its name. The thin, easy to crack shell makes these pecans a crowd-pleaser and customer favorite.  Please be aware that great variation in oil content can exist across pecan varieties and crop years.  The Desirable pecan is a drier pecan variety and has less oil than many of our other varieties.  

All of our In-Shell Pecans are USDA Grade U.S. Extra Fancy.  Please note that weather significantly affects our pecan crop.  Oil content is directly related to moisture totals, so a drier fall season will lead to less oil in pecans.  

Pearson Farm guarantees that all of our in-shell pecans meet U.S. Extra Fancy standards as found in the U.S. Standards for Grades of Pecans in the Shell (Tolerances, §51.1406) put out by the USDA, and comply with international trade agreements. This means that you can expect less than 5% shell defects and less than 12% kernel defects, provided that not more than 6% shall be allowed for kernels which are seriously damaged.
