✦ As-purchased weight reference
✦ ~50% edible kernel
✦ Exceptional polyphenols
✦ Manganese and copper
Pecans weighed with shells reflect the in-shell purchase format; the shell accounts for roughly 50% of total weight. The edible kernel provides the same exceptional polyphenols, gamma-tocopherol, manganese, copper, and monounsaturated fat as shelled pecans, with the shell extending shelf life.
🍳
Preparation note
Crack carefully — pecan shells are thin and the halves inside are delicate. Use fresh shelled pecans immediately or refrigerate; they go rancid faster than most nuts.
