Pecans in Georgia

Capri helps harvest pecans and tries a unique twist on pecan pie. More

The Algonquin coined the term pecan from the word "pacane," which means a nut that needs to be cracked with a stone. By the 1950s, Georgia was the country's leading producer of pecans and remains the largest producing state. Capri meets civil rights activists and founders of the New Communities Agricultural Co-Op, who explain the important role of African-American farmers in the pecan industry.
