1 Pound Box of Whole "In-Shell" Pecans
Native pecans have a better flavor than pecans grown for commercial production because of their natural oils. Our pecan buyers search for native pecans in the areas of Texas known for producing the most flavorful pecan to meet our high standards for quality.
Native pecan trees have evolved to their present flavorful state over many centuries. Most native pecan trees are found along the banks of a handful of Texas rivers, streams and flood plains that feature ideal soil, climate and water conditions. A native pecan tree has a life span of over 150 years and can grow to heights and canopy diameters of 150 feet or more.
Native pecan trees are not usually grown in commercial orchards, but rather, were planted by Mother Nature, pioneers and settlers as long ago as the Civil War.

Texan "York" Nut Sheller
R.D. "Shorty" York, who owned York Body and Fender Works in San Angelo, invented the popular sheller after watching a squirrel peel a pecan. York got a patent for the sheller in 1945, and the device went on the market in November 1953.
York got his idea for the aluminum sheller with blades from a pair of pliers. The instrument operates by means of a pliers-type handle, with sharp teeth to bite off the ends and sides of the nut, producing perfect halves.
A shield to direct the falling hulls into a container was an addition demanded by the inventor's wife who grew weary of picking up nut shells from the living room rug. By removing the shield you have a great tool for lobster and crab legs.
Improvements have been made over the years, including replacement teeth, and handles shaped to fit your hands. These days plastic sleeves are fitted on the aluminum handles to keep users' hands from getting black. And the aluminum shield has been replaced by high-impact plastic.
The Texan "York" Nut Sheller is the finest tool for removing shells from all kinds of nuts, including Pecans, Brazil Nuts, English Walnuts, Almonds, and Filberts. (Not recommended for Black Walnuts or Macadamians).
Left handed models are available by request. The handles are made of the finest cast aluminum. The shell deflector shield allows indoor nut shelling without making the mess that nut crackers create.
