A food product is provided, such as crouton, which will withstand hot or cold liquids for a prolonged period without losing its crispness. Croutons are produced by mixing ingredients such as flour, bran, starch, fat and flavourings, feeding the mix to cooker extruder (2), extruding cooked mix via nozzles (9), aperture (13), expansion chamber (14), apertured plate (18), expansive chamber (17) and nozzle (16) to a cutter and then cooling the cut croutons. Apertures (19) in plate (18) are preferably 1-1.5mm diameter and the nozzle is preferably 15mm diameter and the cooker produces croutons of uniform structure. <IMAGE> |
