Abstract
Improved, shelf-stable breakfast foods are prepared consisting of novel, semi-moist fruit and/or fruit pieces blended with cereal of the dry crisp type which is generally served with sugar and cold milk or cream. The relatively high moisture content of the semi-moist, soft fruit is equilibrated with that of the substantially dry crisp cereal particles by equating the water activities of both ingredients before or during storage and thereby effectively controlling moisture migration from the fruit to the cereal over prolonged periods of storage, resulting in cereals which retain their crispness and admixed fruit which retains substantially its original degree of softness and moistness.
