I always wondered how machines could crack pecans so perfectly. I still did not see it in this video.

[fubukifangirl]

I love pecans but I live in Tennessee and they're outrageously expensive. When I lived in Georgia, we had three pecan trees in our yard and we just picked them wherever we wanted. I miss those days.

*has loads of super machines doing incredible stuff*

Hires technicians to measure in jar and fill manually

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 ?

machine approaches to shake the nuts, the tree: "be gentle"

[castcast]

Northern guy: oh thats how they make pecans

Guy from texas: well hell i just pick em up in my front yard

[irolaan]

I never heard the word "pecans" so many times in five minutes.

Peace…our 6 year old recognized a bag of mixed nuts on the kitchen table and began asking so many questions. This video is such a gem! It answered ALL of his inquiries and all he he left to say after watching it literally was…Wow! Thank you. Bless✨

There must be an advanced security system to keep out the squirrels.

[Adan.Carabelli]

Old school way: you crack a pecan with another pecan.

Drinking game: take a shot every time dude says “pecans”. Have 911 on speed dial and may God have mercy on your souls.

I am a youtube comment-posting technician. Glad to see there are so many youtube comment-reading technicians here!

"south central north america" I had to turn my brain back on for a quick second to understand what he said

[sandrajenkins]

Pecan was an staple for food when your homeless and have no money. And there was a man in Virginia that had a tree overflowing and was glad someone to take and clean them up. Because he worked so much and for some poor it was an income. Now you can sit back and enjoy the fruits of your labour. But THANK GOD for growing them in its season 🙏 be fruitful and multiple

I'm just so satisfied the narrator properly pronounces "pecan."

[dontreplyback]

3:48 thats the HARDEST job on how its made ive ever seen lol

[claudiamiller]

I got 3 pounds of local North Carolina pecans for Christmas JOY!! And they are Just HUGE this year!!

[pantonfire]

I didn't know I needed to watch this video. But I did.

[AE-bhzs]

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.

I love pecans! Always snacking on them while i was in Mississippi! Love its earthy, nutty flavor. A fresh departure from wall nut. But both are delicious in its own right.
