PURPOSE:To produce a FUNORI (glue plant) health food having improved digestibility, absorbability and keeping quality, etc., by dispersing particles of the FUNORI in edible vinegar. CONSTITUTION:Edible vinegar is added to FUNORI (glue plant), and the resultant mixture is allowed to stand for a given time while stirred at intervals. Thus, the FUNORI is homogeneously swelled and dissolved in the edible vinegar to some extent. The resultant material containing the swollen or dissolved FUNORI in the edible vinegar to some extent is milled or strained in a suitable means or apparatus to form a viscous liquid or jellylike material. The subsequent molding is carried out easily by the milling or straining, and the digestibility and absorbability are improved to give the aimed easily eatable food soft and pleasant to the tongue without resistance when chewed. The resultant FUNORI health food in the form of a viscous liquid or jelly may be drunk and eaten directly or dissolved in hot water or water for drinking. |
