pomace

Cider maker's remnants

Pomace is the pulpy residue left after fruit has been crushed to extract juice or oil.

Apple pomace remains after cider pressing; grape pomace after winemaking.

The material sometimes finds secondary use as animal feed, compost, or in producing spirits like grappa: The distillery uses grape pomace from local vineyards.
