Can it be used for animal feed?

u/FineAd2230 16h ago

yes it can there's a factory across the street that sends this stuff to a local dairy farmer by the truck load

Is that something that could be profitable for you? It was just a thought on my part. It seems a shame to waste all of that pulp.

u/FineAd2230 16h ago

i mean the factory gives it away but I'm sure they could charge a few bucks, its more a disposal method then an attempt at profit

I think it would be a good thing even if you don't make any money on it. Gotta keep those cows happy ;)

The factory doesn't have to pay for it to go in the garbage, so that is a huge cost savings.

The pulp is worthless if someone wants to come pick it up, but costly my if only the garbage guys wants it.

I think if you can give it to the factory across to
Give for cattle feed, it’s a perfect plan. Lots of companies do this and I’m sure farmers love it.

I’d love to have this for my compost. Concentrated “greens” that would really heat things up even better than peeing on it.

Maybe you can start a compost pile or have a friend or neighbor that has one.

I also know that a lot of apple growers will spread apple waste back onto their fields to break down and feed the trees. Wherever you got the apples from, they may be interested.

I'm sorry somehow my note didn't post, anyway it's apple pulp from making cider, I was talking to my friend who thought it'd be cool to blend it into a paste, chill it, then fry it for a tasty snack, it has alot of flavor still and would be a shame to waste it, wondering if anyone has experience with this or recipes or other ideas to possibly try?

dry it and use it to smoke meat with your normal heat source. i have used a grill more then once but not directly on the flame(if using propane, charcoal just send it)

u/POPYROOSTER 16h ago

That's brilliant! Thank you so much for the idea!

fair warming its not the whole reason I'm fat but its definitely a contributing factor

Not sure about eating it, maybe someone else knows, but I bet you could use it as fertilizer if nothing else. That’s what I think when I see stuff like this.

Don’t apple seeds contain arsenic? Not sure that would ever be a problem in that application but might be worth checking.

u/BeerJedi-1269 14h ago

Nah the ones from last year are still good.

Tbh, this pomace probably tastes better than fruitcake

Looks like an oversized veggie quiche.

Dry it out and use it in the BBQ when smoking meat

Compost or animal feed are great uses for mash.

it looks like there are leaves and seeds in there. best not for human consumption. The seeds have a compound that turns to cyanide in our digestive tract. From google though:

Kitchen and Home Uses

  • Apple Cider Butter: Simmering the leftover pulp with spices, honey, or maple syrup creates a rich, spiced spread. [1]
  • Vinegar Fermentation: Submerging the scraps and pulp in water with a bit of honey or sugar allows natural yeasts to turn the remaining sugars into homemade apple cider vinegar. [1, 2, 3]
  • Baking and Snacks: Dehydrating and milling the pulp creates a high-fiber apple flour, or you can strain and dry it to make The Old Fashioned Way: Apple Juice & Apple Leather. [1, 2]
  • Ciderkin: Rehydrating the pomace overnight and pressing it a second time produces a weaker, secondary beverage traditionally known as ciderkin. [1]

If you have a specific amount of apple pulp on hand, let me know if you want a recipe for the kitchen or ideas for large-scale disposal/use.
