Powdered grain or legume material is mixed with a fluid binder containing algin, seaweed derivative, albumin, chitin derivative, gelatin, gluten, pectin, agar-agar, carrageenin, carob gum, guar gum and/or gum tragacanth to form a dough that is molded, or extruded and the extruded material severed, to form synthesized kernels. Such kernels are deposited in an aqueous setting or gelling liquid, preferably containing calcium chloride or calcium lactate, for setting the fluid binder and the synthesized kernels may be cooked in such setting liquid if it is hot for a few minutes after which they are removed from the setting or gelling liquid and dried or they may be canned or frozen. If the kernels are cooked for a few minutes after being formed they will be quick-cooking. The grain or legume material may contain additives of protein, amino acid or amino acid analogue, oil or fat, coloring and flavoring material. |
