DefinitionThis section has been translated automatically.
Almond bran is the pressing residue obtained during the production of fatty almond oil from the fruit of Prunus dulcis var.dulcis (sweet almond) and var. amara (bitter almond). After pressing the oil, a pressing residue remains from the peel and fruit residues of the almond fruit. This still moist press cake is further processed in a second production step. It is homogenized and dried. This results in a powdery, finely powdered end product.
