Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] In order to make rice bran easier to eat, the rice bran is prepared by adding a small amount of flavored rice bran, lightly roasting it, adding a small amount of water and solidified rice bran, kneading it into a firm consistency, and molding it. This article relates to a health food made from dried rice bran.

Although brown rice is an extremely nutritious food, it is a shame that it is generally refined and the excellent nutritious parts of the outer layer are removed as rice bran.

The biggest reason for this is that brown rice is difficult to eat even when cooked, both in terms of taste and chewability. It's something that most people don't like.

However, when rice bran is lightly roasted, the unpleasant odor is significantly reduced and a fragrant aroma is produced, making it much more edible. This is a good thing for the health of the people.

However, since it is still dry and in the form of a fine powder, it feels dry and unpleasant when put in the mouth), and is difficult to eat without replenishing liquids such as water or tea.

Therefore, by adding a small amount of flavored rice bran, such as sugar and salt, and lightly roasting it, the taste and aroma are further improved and it becomes even easier to eat. If the mixture is shaped as it is or by applying some pressure and dried, it becomes a confectionery-like food that is even more edible and chewable, so it can be easily eaten without replenishing liquids such as water or tea. .

It also has advantages in storage, portability, packaging, transportation, etc., and can be made even more sophisticated by coating it thinly with acidic acid, oil, or the like.

Because of the above advantages, we have applied for the popularization of nutritional enhancement by using rice bran as food to supplement the critical points of the white rice diet.
