Book Synopsis
Inspired by the mystique of a uniquely American tree, the pecan, John Gifford set out to explore the US pecan industry. What he discovered during his two-year immersion was a nut that's poised to become the next superfood and an industry that today finds itself in the most important juncture in its history.

Trade Review
In Pecan America, John Gifford takes an outwardly simple Subject, the pecan, and reveals its historical richness, ecological significance, and cultural Complexity. Pecan America is a delightful and informative journey into a beloved but at times misunderstood American food, and readers will be glad they accompanied Gifford on the adventure." - Stephanie Anderson, author of One Size Fits None: A Farm Girl's Search for the Promise of Regenerative Agriculture

"If the thought of ancient midland groves that cheat the reaper of modernity electrifies you, then you'll appreciate Gifford’s road trip into the heart of pecan country." - George Frazier, author of The Last Wild Places of Kansas: Journeys into Hidden Landscapes
