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.
