Abstract

The present invention relates generally to a batch process for preparing a heat treated granular solid foodstuff, and more particularly it relates to a process wherein a granular solid food is sufficiently heated deep into the center portion thereof to be sterilized and/or cooked and then cooled without impairing the appearance and flavor thereof. The heating and cooling occur by heated and cooled liquids which fluidize the granular solid food.
