| | Organic Pecans - LocalHarvest |
 | | Pecans, one of the better known hickories, are the only nut trees native to North America, and are originally from the lower regions of the Mississippi valley, Georgia, Kansas, and central Texas. |
 | | One of the finest nuts in texture and flavor, pecans stored in the freezer will retain their quality or long, but care must be taken as they will readily absorb odors from other foods next to them. |
 | | Pecans from wild trees, some people feel, are sweeter and have a higher oil content than the paper shell varieties, but this is open to discussion. |
