Fruit to Bag

The pecan fruit is a green spongy material that is incredibly bitter to the taste and has so much tannin in it that the juice stains your hands.













Finally the "fruit" dries and splits along the seams to expose the seed inside. Now the kernel begins to dry, and finally it falls to the ground after a week or two suspended in the "shuck"





















The kernel is removed from the nut and packed into neat 5kg rectangular blocks.
Roux Pecans are proud of the result!
