Almonds are harvested, processed, and packaged after hulling, shelling, drying, and grading for consumption or use.
Shelling
Almond processing involves hulling, shelling, cleaning, drying, grading, and packaging to deliver quality kernels.
Grading
Almonds are graded by size, color, and quality, with only premium nuts selected for packaging or processing.
Packaging
Almonds are cleaned, quality-checked, and packed in airtight, moisture-proof packaging to preserve freshness and shelf life.
Harvesting
Almonds are harvested when the outer hull splits open, signaling maturity. The nuts are shaken from trees, collected, and processed through hulling, shelling, and drying. They are then cleaned, graded, and packaged for consumption or further use.
Shelling
In the almond processing chain, the outer hull and hard shell are removed to extract the edible kernel. The almonds are then cleaned, sorted to eliminate damaged ones, and dried to ensure quality. Finally, they are graded and packaged or prepared for further use.
Grading
Almonds are graded based on size, color, and quality to maintain consistency. Damaged, broken, or inferior nuts are removed during sorting. Only the highest-quality almonds are selected for packaging or further processing.
Packaging
At the final stage, almonds are thoroughly cleaned and pass quality checks to ensure premium standards. They are then packed in airtight, moisture-proof packaging to preserve freshness and extend shelf life.
