Pecan Harvest Season

Flavorful Taste

San Saba, Texas “The Pecan Capital of the World” celebrates its Pecan Harvest Season and the  flavorful thin- shelled pecans each fall during Pecan Harvest Season. Many of the most popular varieties are the Cheyenne and Pawnee. They are both very thin-shelled, easy to peel, have a plump meat and a slightly sweet taste. This makes them an excellent choice for baking. 

Candies and Flavored Pecans

In addition to the  In-Shell Pecans,  Cracked Pecans, Shelled Pecan Halves and Pieces, the candy-makers are en-robing  Chocolate Pecans and boiling up Jalapeno Pecan Brittle. The bakers have the Pecan Pie  baking and the Pecans roasting, the packagers are dipping  Chewy Pecan Pralines. This time of year the pecans businesses work many long hours, but its just something we all do. Its in our blood and wouldn’t change it for the world.
