PURPOSE:To rapidly produce dried ADZUKI beans, having improved reconstitution property and holding the whole granular shape without the so- called cracked grains, by hydrating dried ADZUKI beans with hot water and heat-treating the ADZUKI beans in a state of no direct content with a heating medium. CONSTITUTION:Dried ADZUKI beans are lightly washed with water, dipped in hot water kept at 60-85 deg.C, preferably 70-75 deg.C for 70-150min and then sufficiently drained. The resultant hydrated ADZUKI beans are then contained in a baglike container consisting of polyethylene film, etc., and heat-treated in a heating medium, e.g. steam, hot water, hot air, etc., at >90 deg.C temperature in a state of substantially no contact of the ADZUKI beans in a packaged state with the heating medium for >=50min. The heat-treated ADZUKI beans are then cooled, frozen, thawed, refrozen and subjected to freeze drying. |
