[@NotMyWar]

I live in Indianapolis and I have two pecan trees. I know you can grow your own in Tennessee.

[@fubukifangirl]

@@NotMyWar Can't here because I live in an apartment complex and they recently passed a rule that we can't even have flower gardens in front of our apartment and everyone who already had one was forced to tear it out. If it can't fit in a pot, we can't have it and I don't know if you can grow pecan trees in a pot.

[@NotMyWar]

@@fubukifangirl yeah they are quite large before they bare fruit so they would not work in a pot. I wish you the speediest path to home ownership, so that you may have your very own pecan trees.

Narrator : The Pecan's are dried for 24 hours to remove moisture as a high moisture content will spoil them. Also Narrator : The next day, they soak the Pecan's in several water bath's to increase the moisture content. Me : What ?

[@samuils]

I know, its funny though and very misleading, the process is actually designed to have equal controllable moisture across all samples, thats why they dry first to a certain percentage then controlled process begins.

[@SiemReap2012]

Perhaps to increase weight by gauging the consumers?

[@hse6144]

Dries for shipping,, then rehydrated at a factory

[@jim1550]

In multi unit bi-processing they have to dry then dehydrate them to reduce tri-linium di-ethylphosphate. In other nuts this trans numeric system isn't warranted due to high levels of ethyl bi-phosphene. Tri-linium di-ethylphosphate toxicity is dangerous not only to mammals but fish and insects too. They have to titrate out the moisture slowly i.e. 24 hours because exposure to air denigrates the phosphene molecules. When you buy them put them under a UV lamp. They glow if their tri-linium di-ethylphosphate levels are unsafe. All you have to do is to pay it tree fiddy open the door, get on the floor, everybody walk the dinosaur.

[@AE-bh5zs]

I do wish there were at least a diagram of how the "two pistons" actually crack the shell. Obviously, having fine control of how close those pistons come together is critical to cracking only the shell and not the nut. That's what I was hoping to understand.

China is where pecans are manufactured. They shred old motorcycle tires, add plastic rice bits, blend in ground shrimp shells and tails, then inject the paste into silicone molds that look like pecans. They initial cook them over sewage treatment plant methane gas. Then they are airbrushed with artificial tanning solution while they final dry in the street behind the shop. In the USA, we don't manufacture them. We grow them on real pecan trees then process them for sale to various markets.

[@seabrookthemagnificent9580]

They are dried first to reduce the danger of fungus growing inside, and to firm up the nutmeat. Sometimes the growers harvest them a little early to outwit the crows and bluejays, which wait until the shucks are open. And, Deano, they are not immersed long enough for the chlorine to penetrate the shell. No worries there mate, as the nuts with cracked shells are removed prior to the bath.
