A pre-packaged functional food delivery system including a container, a premeasured amount of dehydrated, nutritional substance placed in the container, and at least one capsule placed in the container in contact with the dehydrated, nutritional substance. The capsule includes a sealed wall of water-disintegratable material and oil contained inside the sealed wall. The capsule isolates the oil from the air and dehydrated, nutritional substance until water or a water-based fluid is introduced into the system to disintegrate the sealed wall of the capsule and release the oil to mix with the dehydrated, nutritional substance. Consequently, the flow characteristics and shelf-life of the dehydrated, nutritional substance are better preserved until the introduction of water into the system, thus allowing for the effective and targeted delivery of oils to individuals in both quantity and quality to enhance and support general health and/or specific health conditions. |
