Frequently Asked Questions about Paper Shell Pecans

What are paper shell pecans?

Paper shell pecans are a variety of pecans known for their thin, easy-to-crack shells and plump, buttery sweet nutmeat. Often called papershell pecans, they are a Southern favorite for both home baking and snacking because they require minimal effort to crack while delivering the rich flavor of orchard fresh pecans inside.

Are paper shell pecans easier to crack than other pecans?

Yes, paper shell pecan varieties have notably thinner shells than most other pecans, making them much easier to crack by hand or with a basic nutcracker. This convenience, combined with their plump, flavorful nutmeat, is why papershell pecans have remained a Southern tradition for generations of families.

How are your paper shell pecans grown and harvested?

Our paper shell pecans are grown in nutrient rich Texas soil on our family orchard in San Saba. We monitor tree health throughout the season, harvest the nuts at peak ripeness, and sort and select each one for quality. After harvesting, we carefully package the pecans to preserve their natural oils and delicate sweetness.

How long do paper shell pecans stay fresh?

Paper shell pecans naturally have a longer shelf life than shelled pecans because the shell protects the nutmeat.

For even longer storage, keep them refrigerated (6 months) or frozen (12 months) to preserve their flavor and natural oils.

How can I use paper shell pecans?

Paper shell pecans are wonderfully versatile. Crack them and enjoy them straight from the shell, or use the nutmeat in baked goods, granola, salads, and traditional Southern dishes like pecan pie, pecan pralines, pecan crusted chicken, and stuffing. They also make excellent gifts and a charming centerpiece for holiday tables.
