LOW CALORIE NUTS WITH THE ORGANOLEPTIC CHARACTER OR FULL FAT NUTS

摘要

The present invention relates to nuts which have a near normal fat content but with a portion of their natural fat replaced with a low calorie fat-like material. This is achieved by defatting the nuts partially and then infusing them with a non-digestible or partially digestible fat-like material. The resulting nuts have the organoleptic character of full fat nuts but a much lower calorie content.
