These native pecans are a smaller, sweet pecan that have a lovely praline flavour especially when sprouted. Non-certified organic. From a lovely farmers collective in and around Arkansas.
Native Pecans have a very diverse gene pool. They have evolved to grow in their habitat over hundreds of years. They tend to need less care, less soil amendment and less water than the hybrid versions that give us the mammoth pecans.
The trees are spread out enough so that they can go in after the fall harvests with clover which is a natural source of nitrogen to begin the preparation for next year's crop. The clover is plowed into the soil. The pecan trees have exceptionally deep taproots that draw the necessary water for them year round from the Neosha River. The soil preparation has been going on in this particular area for over 50 years. The grove does not receive any chemical treatment, the trees are over 100 feet tall and are between 100-200 years old and they were designated to be maintained naturally.
Pecans are the highest source of healthy monounsaturated fat of any nut. They are also also high in Vitamin E among many other nutrients.
Making a decision to continue to sell products that come from the USA isn't an easy one. But supporting farmers and suppliers whose values align with ours is also something we believe in. Change has to come from all sides and we feel strongly that supporting folks like our pecan supplier, who while residing in a red state, maintains very strong opinions about the dangers of the current administration and its affect on its neighbours north of its border. We have always appreciated working with Shirley and her crew, and are grateful that she's down there doing the work from the inside that is so necessary.
