Abstract
Instant-cooking dry macaroni-type food products are disclosed composed of wheat flour and substantially pre-cooked such that at least 85% of the starch contained in the product is converted to the .alpha.-phase, as measured by the diastase enzyme process. The products are characterized by numerous large diameter interconnected pores that provide communication between the external surfaces and the internal portions of the pieces and allow rapid hydration and conversion of the product from the dry to the cooked and edible state.
