Pure, clean olive pit granules/flour is the result of a complex treatment process of olive oil production residues. To produce olive oil, the olive is always compressed as a whole, i.e. including the kernel. The de-oiled olive cake is then processed in a moist state by means of specialized machines. As part of a centrifugation process, olive pit fragments are separated from pulp and shell rests and subsequently cleaned mechanically, dried and screened based on their particle sizes. The result are light beige, nearly odorless granules without any dust and pulp residues. It can be cleaned further and transformed into high-grade flours and powders.

BioPowder is a specialist supplier of fresh and dry powders made from olive leaves and olive peel. Both products are valuable by-products from the olive growing and olive oil industry, and upcycled into raw materials for extracts of antioxidant and/or antimicrobial substances.

Biological Almond Shell Powder, a high quality ingredient for various uses. Our almond shell powders are generally made of the raw material prunus amygdalus dulcis, known as the most common (edible) sweet almond.

Peach kernel oil has become increasingly popular in recent years. Consequently, there has been a good availability of peach stones. Similar to apricots and plums, peaches have a large stone with an oily seed that is processed in local mills. While the stone is crushed to obtain the seed, the wooden shell is a by-product consisting mainly of cellulose and lignin. We are specialized in transforming this shell into high-grade powders.

To process our pistachio shell powder, the raw material, the pistachio shell, is ground and sieved either into fine powders or coarser granules. It comes from local sources within a maximum of 400kg and is diligently screened to comply with the highest quality standards. Availability is very good because pistachio cultivation in Spain has become increasingly interesting in the last few years. According to official sources, 25,000 acres of land are occupied with pistachio trees. Most pistachios are grown in the regions of Castilla-La Mancha, Andalucia and Aragón.

Pistachio cultivation in Spain has become increasingly interesting in the last few years. According to official sources, 25,000 acres of land are occupied with pistachio trees. Most pistachios are grown in the regions of Castilla-La Mancha, Andalucia and Aragón. There has been an ever growing demand for pistachios on the local and international market. Pistachios (i.e. the soft nut inside the shell) are rich in proteins and fibres, B vitamins as well as thiamin, manganese, magnesium and iron.

Avocado stone powder has a somewhat nutty flavor. Due to its relatively high oil content, it should be processed and consumed in a fresh state. Also, it has a pretty soft consistence and hence is used preferably in small grain sizes. The characteristic orange color makes it stand out from most fruit stone powders: it is a natural dye and can replace artificial pigments in numerous end products.

Apricot stones are usually crushed to obtain the seed for the production of apricot kernel oil. This oil is mainly used as a high-quality ingredient for cosmetic and food products. For our apricot stone powder we use exclusively fresh stones and therefore supply our powders preferably during and shortly after the harvesting season, i.e. from April to August. To be more precise, our raw material is the shell of the stone, with a minimum of oily remainders. This ensures a superior quality of our granules, i.e. consistent particle shape, color and a long shelf life.

Argan shells are the shells of the kernel (seed) inside the argan fruit. The fruit grows on trees (argania spinosa) that can be found almost exclusively in Southern Morocco.

Walnut shell powder is a versatile ingredient with a harmonious light brown colour and a neutral smell. Walnut shells are a by-product of walnut processing, mainly for the food industry. As walnuts are rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids, protein, B-vitamins and minerals (especially magnesium, manganese and potassium), they are grown in enormous volumes. The walnut production amounts to around 3.5 million tons per year with China being the largest producer. Significant quantities are grown in the United States, Romania, Mexico, Turkey, Iran and Spain.
