With the recent trend of the value of pecans, the best value in the pecan market is chopped pecan pieces. These pecan pieces come in a varitey of sizes from meal, the millings from the shelling process, all the way to mammoth pieces, which are halves with a broken corner. It is not necessary for chefs to reduce the size of the pecans because they are already offered in that size. Please contact us today to see which size pecans meet your needs and to take advantage of pecan pieces. After Inshell pecans, (those still in the shell) have been cleaned, they are process in the shelling facility. This mechanical process removes the pecan shells and dislodges the nut meats. Often times, the pecan halves get broken or chipped and pecan pieces are produced. These broken pecan pieces are then chopped and sized with screens into similar classes of sizes. Typically pecan pieces are the best value for the baker or the home consumer.
