Abstract: Described is a method of processing nut fruits selected from almond fruits, pecan fruits and/or walnut fruits, comprising: a) off-ground harvesting of the nut fruits; b) subjecting a mass comprising kernels, inner shell and green outer hull of the nut fruits to grinding to an average particle size of 500 µm or less to provide a ground mass; and c) further processing the ground mass to edible nut fruit solids, edible nut fruit-based products and/or nut fruit beverages; wherein the nut fruits have not been subjected to drying before step b). The method provides an ecologically friendly and simple alternative for processing almond fruits, pecan fruits and/or walnut fruits to food and beverage compositions that are not only suitable for human consumption but simultaneously comprise high amounts of the natural antioxidants and bioactive materials present in the fresh fruits. Simultaneously, the method reduces risks related to both consumer health and the orchard environment, does not require extensive use of herbicides and/or pesticides, and reduces dust generation and tree water stress.
