No

The shell itself is made of cellulose and lignin, a common seed coat which is there to provide a hard barrier to protect the inner material (in this case - nut meat). These seed coats are typically made of cells called sclereids. Sclereids also occur in other foods that are commonly ingested such as Pears, apples, cinnamon, and cloves.

Pecan shell fiber is actually a beneficial ingredient which contains more antioxidants than raw berries such as cranberries, blueberries, and raspberries.

What function does a pecan sheller serve?

Pecan shellers or pecan crackers are for extracting the nutmeats out of pecan shells by the harvesters. Pecan shellers are machine apparatuses with revolutionary designs in that they accumulate a translucent spin-per-minute ratio. A video on YouTube by user "855sheller" shows an electric pecan cracker demonstration with a spin-per-minute ratio of 26 revolutions per minute equivalent to 1,560 pecans being shelled in the span of 1 hour.

Where is seagram's 7 made?

The question is "where", not "of what", and, even if that was the question, it is wrong. There are no pecans or pecan shells in it. Since it is a blend, it's hard to know for sure where all of Seagram's Seven Crowns is made. It is bottled in Lawrenceburg, Indiana, at Lawrenceburg Distillers, Inc. It is likely that most or all of the constituent whiskies and other spirits are also made there, but there's no way to know for sure. The owner, Diageo, does not currently own a distillery in the United States. Old answer: I would bet alot that it is made with pecans, pecan shells, or something pecan related in the recipe. I stored some homemade wine(white grape) in a Seagrams jug for about a year. Now my wine has a distinct pecan flavor. Its actually not bad, just different.

What do you do if your pecan tree does not produce pecans?

Most likely you only have one pecan tree. Plus there a probably no other pecan trees nearby. Your pecan tree has to have another pecan tree close enough so that they can pollinate. If no pollination occurs, no pecans.
