Mixture of a vegetable residue and a water-absorbing polymer product

A process for the production of a storable and/or transportable vegetable mixture comprising:

• adding to a waste vegetable residue 0.1 to 10 wt. % of at least one polymer product that absorbs water,
• wherein the polymer product is obtained from a mixture comprising
• a) 55-99.9 wt.-% of at least one ethylenically unsaturated, polymerizable monomer which contains an acid group and is present as a salt to at least 25 mole-%,
• b) 0-40 wt.-% of another ethylenically unsaturated monomer copolymerizable with the monomer according to a)
• c) 0.01-5.0 wt.-% of at least one crosslinking agent,
• d) 0-30 wt.-% of a water-soluble polymer,
• the sum of components a)-d) always being 100 wt.-%,
• and wherein the polymer product is added in amounts such that the mixture is converted to a pasty, fast-drying mass or a solid;
• wherein the waste vegetable residue is a root, a leave, a stalk, a blossom, a fruit or a mixture thereof;
• wherein said vegetable mixture comprises 90-99.9 wt % of said waste vegetable residue.
