Abstract
The present invention provides a non-tobacco moist snuff composition having an herbal component consisting essentially of corn silk. The most preferred herbal component has 75-80% by weight of corn silk and 20-25% by weight of red clover blossoms. The present invention also provides a method of producing a non-tobacco moist snuff composition having the herbal component. When the herbal component is combined with a suitable casing component, the resulting leaf-free non-tobacco moist snuff composition has a light, elastic, and moist texture, a soft and smooth mouth feel, a uniform color and particle size, and a long lasting and tobacco-like smell and taste with a characteristic tobacco-like 'bite.'
