Etymology

The term 'dehulled' originates from the prefix 'de-' meaning removal and 'hulled', which is derived from the noun 'hull'. The word 'hull' traces back to the Middle English 'hol', which referred to the outer covering or shell of grains. In agricultural practices, especially in the context of food processing, dehulling became significant for improving the quality and nutritional value of food products. As diets evolved and the demand for healthy, ready-to-eat foods increased, the dehulling process gained greater importance in food technology, leading to its widespread application in kitchens and food production facilities.
