Harvesting pecans at the right time is the sure way to get you those delicious pies when the season starts. If you have a pecan tree growing in your backyard, you can find the task more enjoyable by using the all in one pecan nut buster with sheller such as pecan picker upper or the extra large Pecan nut buster . These make picking up the nuts a much more rewarding experience.


Tips on Gathering pecans


You will know that your pecans are ready when the hard shell begins to turn brown and eventually crack. The nuts will then begin to fall off the tree. You can help the process by shaking the limbs so that they fall off. Leaving them lying on the ground will only make them rot and then they will become useless. Using a pecan picker upper or pecan harvester can make the process easier than just picking them up by hand.

Tips on Cracking Pecans



If you think gathering these tasty nuts were a task, then you will be in for a surprising challenge when you have to crack them. Now there are a lot of traditional methods that can be used to get the nut out of the hard shell. For example you can place the nut between your hands and squeeze hard or even stand on it to get the sell caked. Some pecan shells are harder than others. The paper shell pecans for example have a much softer shell than other varieties. You will find Pecan Nut Busters Small (Native Cracker) on the market that you can use to get the tasty nut out of its hard shell. The best benefit of using this method is that it is not as trying as using manual methods.

How to Shell Pecans



After you have gone through all the trouble of gathering and cracking your pecans you would want to shell them and store them. You can use a small all in one with sheller pecan machine to get your pecans out of their shells so you can enjoy eating them or so they can be stored ready to use later on. The best option for storing away your pecans is to get a good plastic container with a secure lid. It has to be able to close airtight. Pecans will dry out easily so be sure not to store them away for too long.
