The present invention is directed to processes for preparing stable 1 -amino- 1- cyclopropanecarboxylic acid ("ACC") water-soluble granules comprising the steps of mixing a composition comprising ACC and water at a concentration ratio at about 1.9:1 or less to create a wet mass, extruding the wet mass to create an extrudate and drying the extmdate to create the water-soluble ACC granules, wherein the concentration of ACC and water is weight by total weight of the wet mass. The present invention is further directed to ACC granules produced by processes of the present invention.
