Abstract
A whole grain product is described having a moisture content of from 40-80%. The product is prepared by cooking the grains in water for 5-90 minutes at a temperature of 80-150.degree. C. Next, the grains are rinsed with cool water to remove excess starch and stop the cooking process. The grains are then either dried or flash frozen to form a free-flowing product which may be directly eaten, rehydrated in 1-7 minutes in the case of dried grains, or reheated in 1-7 minutes in the case of flash frozen grains. The invention also includes food products manufactured from the processed whole grains.
