Abstract

Instant dehydrated purees of seeds of leguminous plant with retarded intestinal resorption in the form of flakes or granules are prepared by rehydrating dry seeds of the leguminous plants, cooking the rehydrated seeds, reducing the cooked seeds to a puree and drying the puree by carrying out these steps such that the cell walls of the seeds, particularly the cell walls of the cotyledon, are damaged as little as possible. To prepare the dehydrated puree, dry seeds are rehydrated by soaking and then the rehydrated seeds are cooked, reduced to puree and dried.
