Abstract
There is provided a grain suitable for use in baked products and a method for producing the grain in which the grain has been preconditioned by physical action sufficient to induce an internal capillary network without causing the grain to fragment. The grain is subsequently treated with an osmotically active solute which provides the grain with rapid imbibition characteristics. The treated grain, when used in baked products, results in a baked product having improved shelf stability and antistaling properties.
