Forkert Pecans (In Shell)

Our Best-Selling Paper Shell Pecan for Snacking and Gifting

Our Forkert In-Shell Pecans are a customer favorite—for good reason. This large true papershell pecan is exceptionally easy to crack and shell by hand, making it a top choice for snacking, sharing, and gifting. With its smooth shell and high meat yield, Forkert delivers both quality and convenience.

Each nut features a beautiful cream to golden kernel, and shells out by hand cleanly with minimal effort. With approximately 53 nuts per pound and 58% to 61% nut meat, Forkert offers one of the highest yields of any in-shell variety we sell.

This is our #1 seller for both in-shell pecans and holiday gift pecan orders. Its rich, fresh flavor shines best when eaten raw, freshly shelled by hand—an experience that brings out the full character of these Mississippi grown fresh pecans.
