When it comes to memory, brain development, depression, and post-workout fatigue, pecans pack a mighty punch because of their choline levels. In fact, according to research, athletes who took 2.8 grams of choline one hour before running ran faster times than when they ran without it. If you're an endurance athlete, get munching!

In a Nutshell—Pecans 101
A native North American nut indigenous to the Mississippi River Valley, East Texas, and northern Mexico, pecans were brought to the Mesilla Valley by settlers in the late 1800s. The trees were valued as much for shade in a hot climate as for the nutmeats that had sustained many Native peoples for centuries.

Pioneering horticulturist Fabián García, the first agricultural specialist at what is now NMSU in Las Cruces, is famous for laying the foundation for the state’s commercial chile business. He contributed similar but lesser-known influence in pecan production. In 1913, he began planting some dozen and a half varieties of pecan trees in what the university now calls the Fabian Garcia Science Center. Knowing that the trees flourished in the rich soil of the lower Mississippi River, García suspected that the trees might thrive near the Río Grande. His goal was to find varieties of pecan trees that produced well and had a relatively thin shell for simple cracking. Some of the trees just up and died, but one variety, the Western Schley, thrived.

That's the variety we carry here at Tularosa Pecan Company. We mix the state’s two titans—pecans and chile—which make a nice couple when nuts are dusted with red or green chile powder, a popular snack and a great gift!
