Can you tell what a good pecan is before you crack it open?

Question

just wondering how many people know.

I can tell because I've been picking pecans for years.

Answer 1

I dont know, Please tell me ?

Answer 2

This is just my experience, so it may not be one-hundred percent correct, but I've always found that the darker, ashier looking ones are usually bad (but, like I said, that's just my experience.)
When it comes to shape, I've found that the small, round ones are ****** to crack, but taste better than the bigger, longer ones.

Answer 3

No idea; I don't eat that many pecans.
(Although I do love ****** Pecan ice cream.)

And I know how to tell if an egg is spoiled without breaking it...

Answer 18

Pecan Shells are used in Sand-Blasting Machines to remove old paint and rust splotches from metal. They really work great. The reason that they are more preferred than course sand is because the course sand gets inside moving parts and stays there; and that can cause damage to the equipment, etc., that's being Sand-blasted.

Answer 19

The Pecan Tree is the State Tree of the Great Republic (State) of Texas. The Birthday of the Republic of Texas is March 2, 1836.
