Pecans are Low Carbs!! A handful of pecans is not only
good it's low in Carbhydraes. Each ounce of pecans contain
only 4 ounces of Carbs. Enjoy them with no guilt!
Pecans are Healthy!! The FDA says that eating a handful of
pecans a day can reduce your risk of Heart Disease.
Did you Know? There are over 3,000 varieties of pecans.
The variety we most often offer is Desirable. Each variety has
its own characteristics according to size and color.
Other varietes you may see from us include, Schley(pronounced sly),
Cape Fear, and Stuart.
Pecans do not grow "true from seed": A seed planted will
not be a duplicate of the parent. For this reason improved varieties
must be grafted to root stock. Trees grown from seed are
called "Seedlings" in the South and "Native" in the West.
George Washington grew pecans at Mount Vernon. Some of the
trees he planted remain to this day.
