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.
Pecans kept at room temperature in a sealed air-tight container will last up to 3 months. Refrigerate your pecans to extend the freshness 6-9 months. When frozen in an air-tight container, pecans can last up to 2 years. Pecans can be thawed and re-frozen multiple times. Store alone. Pecans have a high oil content and have a tendency to absorb odors when stored with other items.
