What does “organic” mean?

“Organic food is produced by farmers who emphasize the use of renewable resources and the conservation of soil and water to enhance environmental quality for future generations. Organic food is produced without using most conventional pesticides; fertilizers made with synthetic ingredients or sewage sludge; bioengineering; or ionizing radiation.”

Mineral Nutrition in Organic Georgia Pecan Orchards

To grow and set fruit normally, pecan trees require adequate levels of 14 mineral nutrients: nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, magnesium, sulfur, zinc, iron, boron, manganese, molybdenum, copper, chlorine and nickel. Deficiency in any one of these nutrients can potentially limit pecan yield. One of the goals in an organic pecan orchard operation is to rely first and foremost on non-chemical management practices for maintaining insects, diseases and weeds at acceptable levels. Organic pecans represent a small but growing segment of the pecan market. But as pioneers in the industry we believe that natural and organic methods are the best way to grow
and harvest the most healthy and highest quality pecans. Pecans for health and pecans for life !

THE TEXAS STATE TREE IS THE PECAN TREE

The Texas State Tree: Pecan



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The pecan is a large tree native to North America. It bears sweet edible nuts, deep brown in color, that range from 1 to 2 inches in length.
The mature pecan tree is usually 70 to 100 feet tall, as shown above, but can grow as tall as 150 feet and higher. The native pecan trees shown are estimated to be over 150 years old. Their trunks are more than three feet in diameter.

Texas is the largest producer of native pecans, and is second only to Georgia in the production of hybrid (orchard grown) varieties. The pecan became the Texas state tree by act of the Texas Legislature in 1919. Governor James Hogg favored the tree so much that he requested that one be planted at his gravesite.

HISTORY OF THE PECAN

HISTORY OF THE PECAN

The Fantastic Pecan

Famed as the “King of the North American Nuts,” the pecan has delighted young and old for more than 300 years. Named by the Algonquin Indians, “pecan” means “tough nut to crack” which probably came from its tough-shelled cousin, the hickory nut, since they both belong to the same family. Native North American Indians found the wonderful nut growing wild along riverbanks from the eastern United States to northern Mexico. As a tribute to these Indians, the nearly 1,000 varieties of the pecans that we enjoy today are named after famous Indian tribes.

First President George Washington planted pecan trees which he called “Mississippi Nut” trees as did our third President, Thomas Jefferson, in the 1700's. Not only does the pecan tree produce great fruit or nuts, but also it can grow up to 100+ feet tall and span a diameter of 3 feet at the trunk -- thus making logs for prized lumber that is used for flooring, paneling, carving, baseball bats, hammer handles, furniture, and firewood.

The pecan contains 19 vitamins and minerals, including vitamins A, E, and B, calcium, folic acid, magnesium, zinc phosphate, and potassium. These “heart healthy” nuts contain 87 percent unsaturated fat, 62 percent mono-unsaturated fat, and 25 percent poly-unsaturated fat. Pecans fight the buildup of LDL (bad) cholesterol with compounds rich in antioxidants. Most of all, they are just plain good to eat. So there is no wonder why, from the first presidents of the United States to astronauts of the Apollo mission who carried the pecan to the moon, the pecan is the nut of choice for everyone.

TYPES OF PECAN PREPARATION

Roasting Pecans
There are several techniques to roasting pecans and the results are delicious.

Oven Roasting:
Brush pecans lightly with oil until well covered, then spread out in a single layer in a jelly roll pan. For each cup of nut meats, use approximately 1/2 tablespoon of oil. Sprinkle lightly with salt and bake in a 200 degree oven for 30 to 45 minutes, stirring occasionally. They are done when they turn golden brown.


Pan Frying:
Pan fry by dropping the oiled nuts into a skillet, using 2 tablespoons of hot oil for 1 cup of nuts. Cook, stirring constantly for 2 to 3 minutes.


Deep Frying:
Using a frying basket, cover the pecans in hot oil. Cook 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until the nuts are delicately browned. Drain on a paper towel and sprinkle lightly with salt.
