A process for converting pomace derived from the production of fruit wine into a nutrient-rich food product, and a product made by said process. The process comprises milling the pomace, carrying out an anaerobic ethanolic fermentation in an anaerobic fermenter by adding yeast and optionally sugars to produce ethanol; carrying out an aerobic acetic acid fermentation in an aerobic fermenter by adding acetic acid bacteria to produce acetic acid, shearing the acetic acid pomace to produce a raw puree; and further processing the raw puree into a puree or powder. The process can be used to produce a product that qualifies for Kosher certification. The nutrient-rich product can be used as an ingredient in foods as a flavour, texture and color enhancer, to mask bitter flavours or off-notes, as a preservative, to fortify processed foods.
