The razor shell, Ensis magnus, also called razor clam, is a bivalve of the family Pharidae. It is found on sandy beaches in Canada and northern Europe (north of the Bay of Biscay). In some locations, the common name "razor shell" is also used to refer to members of the family Solenidae, including species of the genera Ensis and Solen, by some taxonomic classifications which include the family Pharidae within the family Solenidae. It prefers coarser sand than its relatives E. ensis and E. siliqua. (Wikipedia. 2025. Razor shell https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Razor_shell)
Cocoa beans represent only 30% of the cocoa fruit, leaving behind a huge amount of underutilized and often wasted by-products. The three remaining fractions after the extraction of the cocoa seeds are cocoa pod husk, mucilage/pulp, and cocoa shell. (Adapted from Figueroa, K.H.N., García, N.V.M. and Vega, R.C. (2020).
