Georgia produces more pecans than any other state in the USA, accounting for nearly a third of total US production. Our location in Georgia gives us unparalleled access to the world's finest pecan supply.
The pecan (Carya illinoinensis) is America's only native tree nut — a true superfood with a rich buttery flavor, exceptional nutritional profile, and growing global demand. Here is a comprehensive guide to understanding this remarkable nut.
Pecans are the only major tree nut native to North America. Indigenous peoples cultivated them for centuries before European settlers discovered their incredible nutritional value. The name "pecan" comes from the Algonquin word meaning "nut requiring a stone to crack." Georgia has been the leading pecan producing state for decades, with some orchards dating back over 100 years.
Georgia's climate — with hot summers, mild winters, and adequate rainfall — creates the perfect environment for pecan cultivation. Pecan trees require long growing seasons of 180–200 frost-free days, well-drained soils, and full sun. Georgia's unique soil composition gives its pecans a distinctively rich, buttery flavor profile unmatched anywhere else in the world.
Georgia pecans are harvested between October and December. Mechanical shakers vibrate the trees to release mature nuts onto the ground, which are then collected by harvesters. After harvesting, nuts are cleaned, dried to optimal moisture content (below 4%), sorted by size and quality, and shelled using precision equipment that preserves the halves intact.
All our pecans meet USDA Grade A standards — the highest classification. Grading considers size uniformity, moisture content, color, and freedom from defects. Mammoth halves (the largest grade) measure over 250 halves per pound. Our shelled pecan halves are carefully screened to remove any shell fragments, ensuring 100% edible product for your customers.
Pecans are packed in food-grade, vacuum-sealed bags to preserve freshness and extend shelf life. Properly stored shelled pecans last 6 months at room temperature, 18 months refrigerated, and up to 2 years frozen. Our packaging meets US food safety standards and international import requirements, with all mandatory labeling included.
The global pecan market is projected to reach $3.64 billion by 2034, driven by rising health consciousness worldwide. Emerging economies across Asia, the Middle East, and beyond represent exciting growth markets for premium American pecans, with demand accelerating as middle classes expand and health awareness increases.

Pecans are rich in monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats — the same heart-healthy fats found in olive oil. Regular consumption has been shown to lower LDL (bad) cholesterol levels and reduce risk of cardiovascular disease, making them ideal for health-conscious consumers worldwide.
Rich in thiamine (Vitamin B1) and copper, pecans support healthy brain function and neurological health. The high antioxidant content, particularly Vitamin E, protects brain cells from oxidative damage and may reduce risk of neurodegenerative conditions.
With 691 calories per 100g and a rich profile of B-vitamins, pecans provide sustained energy without blood sugar spikes. The high fiber content promotes satiety and supports healthy digestion — perfect for the global fitness and wellness market.
Pecans contain significant amounts of magnesium, phosphorus, and zinc — minerals essential for strong bones and muscle function. Regular consumption supports bone density and muscle recovery, increasingly important for health-conscious consumers globally.
Pecans rank among the highest antioxidant foods in the world. They contain Vitamin E, ellagic acid, and numerous flavonoids that fight free radical damage, reduce inflammation, and support overall immunity — highly relevant for health-conscious consumers worldwide.
Despite being calorie-dense, pecans paradoxically support weight management. Their high protein, fiber, and healthy fat content reduces hunger and promotes satiety. Studies show regular nut consumers have lower BMI and reduced risk of obesity than non-nut eaters.
