Survey reveals consumers' pecan preferences

(American Society for Horticultural Science) A survey explored demographics of pecan consumers, determined their knowledge of tree nut nutrition knowledge and examined preferences in pecan purchases. Almost three-quarters of survey respondents said they consumed pecans, although respondents' knowledge of general and tree nut nutrition concepts varied. The responses showed that people most frequently purchase pecans from a grocery store, buy them shelled for baking/cooking, and consume pecans four to six times per year.
