The Miajadas plant brings processing, hulling and shelling of the fruit together in a single process. This integrated process prevents the hull from being contaminated with impurities and makes it suitable for animal feed.
In-shell almonds arrive at the plant.
Impurities are removed.
The hull is separated from the fruit.
The shell is separated, leaving the kernel.
Once separated and clean, the hull is compacted into bales to make it easier to transport.
R&D&I project co-financed by CDTI that adds value to the almond hull, a product rich in polyphenols and fibre, to obtain plant extracts for functional use.
ESG impact. A by-product that becomes a valuable resource.
