Abstract: A method for preparing a pumpable batch composition of stone fruit and/or nut fruit seeds, in particular nuts, almonds or nut and almond mixtures, with the following steps: Breaking open of the already pitted or stoned stone-fruit or nut-fruit seeds first takes place by pre-crushing. A hot air and/or vacuum exposure of the composition arising from the pre-crushing then takes place for the purpose of breaking open its cells. This is followed by a usually single-stage, optionally also multi-stage, further grinding of the composition arising from the pre-crushing and the hot air or vacuum exposure to form a pumpable batch composition.
