Forms of Pecan Nuts:
Pecans can be exported in various forms to cater to different market demands.
- In-shell: These are whole pecans with their shells intact. They have a longer shelf life and are preferred by some buyers for fresh processing upon arrival.
- Shelled (Kernels): These are pecans with the shells removed, available as halves, pieces, or granules. They are convenient for direct consumption or use in various food products.
- Processed: This can include roasted, salted, flavoured, or candied pecans, often used as snacks or ingredients in confectionery.
Shelf Life and Storage of Pecan Nuts:
Pecans have a high oil content, making them susceptible to rancidity if not stored properly.
In-shell pecans: Can last for 4 months at 70°F (21°C), 18 months at 32-36°F (0-2°C), and 5 years or more at 0°F (-18°C).
Proper storage is key: Keep pecans in airtight containers, away from heat, light, and moisture. Refrigeration or freezing is recommended for extended storage to maintain freshness, flavour, and prevent rancidity
Shelled pecans: Generally have a shorter shelf life than in-shell. They can last about 3 months at 70°F (21°C), 6-12 months in the refrigerator (40°F/4°C), and 2 years in the freezer (32°F/0°C).
Health Benefits of Pecan Nuts:
Pecans are highly nutritious and can be marketed with an emphasis on their health benefits.
