Production of shredded or flaked whole grain-containing composite food products

This invention describes a way to make shredded or flaked food products, like cereals or snacks, using whole grains. The process involves cooking and softening whole grain particles, then mixing them with specific vegetables, fruits, or dairy cheese before forming them into pellets. These pellets are then shredded to create the final product, which can optionally be coated with chocolate.

Why it matters: Since 2013, advancements in food science and processing control have improved the ability to precisely manage starch retrogradation and ingredient integration during pelletization. This makes it easier to consistently produce complex whole-grain, vegetable, or fruit composites with desired textures and nutritional profiles.
