Abstract
This invention is a process for rendering an edible fiber more easily hydratable for addition to food products. Edible fiber is co-milled in a multi-impact mill with sugar and optionally flour and starch. This co-milling improves the dispersion and the water absorbing rate of the fiber when it is added to food. The addition of fiber allows more water to be held, resulting in better and moister tasting food products. The invention also comprises the fiber product made according of this process.
