There are many truckloads of byproducts produced in the processing of almonds. Almond hulls are used for livestock feed – hulls are high in sugar, protein, and fiber and contribute to a balanced feed ration. Almond shells are used in energy co-generation plants, pressed fireplace logs, laminate board, MDF and SP board production, dairy bedding, and briquettes. There is not a single component of an almond that is not used for some redeemable and responsible end-use, all while generating one of nature’s most nutritional and enjoyable snacking items!
