The method further includes removing the broken down pulp from the pomice. The method further includes placing the skins and seeds of the extruded pulp into net bags and closing the bags and placing the bags in a dryer at an elevated temperature and drying the contents of the bags to a predetermined moisture. The method further includes bagging the dried material and storing the food-grade containers in a room at a predetermined temperature and finely grinding the dried material.
