Abstract
Ready-to-eat cereals containing psyllium are described. The cereals contain psyllium which has been extruded and prewetted, that is, admixed with water prior to mixing with other cereal ingredients. The prewetted psyllium, when combined with the other ingredients, yields a ready-to-eat cereal which has organoleptic properties superior to similar cereals where the psyllium has not been so treated. The cereals of the invention are particularly useful in lowering the serum cholesterol levels of individuals who consume them. Preferred cereals include ingredients such as wheat, corn or oat flours. Preferred forms of the cereals include flakes, puffs, nuggets, shreds, buds, and biscuits.
