What is the Density of Pecans?

The density of pecans is not a single value but varies significantly depending on whether the pecan is shelled or unshelled. For instance, a study published in ResearchGate found that the mean specific gravity for a whole pecan nut was 0.837, while the kernel (nutmeat) itself was 0.945. This difference is largely due to the varying density between the shell and the edible nutmeat inside.
