Abstract
Description
- This application is a continuation of and claims priority under 35 U.S.C. § 120 to U.S. Ser. No. 16/905,638, filed Jun. 18, 2022, which is a continuation-in-part of and claims priority under 35 U.S.C. § 120 to U.S. Ser. No. 15/660,849, filed Jul. 26, 2017. The entire content of these applications are herein incorporated by reference in their entirety, including, without limitation, specification, claims, and abstract, as well as any figures, tables, or drawings thereof.
- The present invention relates to a food product and in particular to a food product having enhanced nutritional value.
- Food is essential for living beings. It provides both energy and nutrition for growth. Every living being requires food; the forms of food can be different for different living beings. Humans, like other living beings also depend upon food to sustain life. Also, it is essential that humans eat a variety of foods to provide a diverse nutritional requirement of the body. Food products rich in nutrition, such as minerals, vitamins, essential proteins, and fatty acids are considered healthier. Consumption of healthier food provides the building blocks to the body essential for sustaining life and growth.
- Bubble tea was a popular beverage that contains translucent spheres produced from tapioca. Tapioca is a starch extracted from the cassava root. The various forms of tapioca balls include the original black, flavored, popping, mini, and clear. By adding different ingredients, like water, sugar, and seasoning, tapioca balls can be made to vary in color and in texture. The most common, and original, tapioca balls are usually soaked in simple sugar syrup to give it a little bit of sweetness while keeping it fresh. They typically lack flavor and gel easily and are therefore often used as a thickening agent in foods like pudding. The tapioca pearls are simply there to provide texture, the flavor really comes from the drink itself. Despite being a popular drink, the Bubble tea lacks nutritional value.
- Thus, a need is always appreciated to make the food products healthier.
- The principal object of the present invention is therefore directed to a food product that is rich in nutrition.
- It is a further object of the present invention that the nutrition includes essential fatty acids, proteins, minerals, and vitamins.
- It is a still further object of the present invention that the food product is delicious.
- It is another object of the present invention that the food product is devoid of toxic and cheap raw materials.
- It is still another object of the present invention that the food product is devoid of processed synthetic or semi-synthetic raw materials.
- It is a further object of the present invention that the food product is having natural ingredients.
- It is another object of the present invention that the food product is economical to prepare.
- These and other objects and advantages of the embodiments herein will become readily apparent from the following detailed description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
- Subject matter will now be described more fully hereinafter with reference to the accompanying drawings, which form a part hereof, and which show, by way of illustration, specific exemplary embodiments.

The description is not to be taken in a limiting sense but is made merely to illustrate the general principles of the invention since the scope of the invention will be best defined by the allowed claims of any resulting patent.
- The present invention is directed to a food product that is healthier and more delicious. The present invention is directed to a food product having chia seeds. In one embodiment, the chia seeds can be added to the food product in pearl form. To prepare the pearl form of chia seeds, soak the chia seed for a predetermined period, resulting in the absorption of liquid by the, chia seeds. The chia seed swells to jelly like consistency when soaked into a sufficient amount of water for a good amount of time. The chia seed in jelly forms is referred to hereinafter as the pearls of chia seeds. The pearls of chia seeds can be added to a food product. The food product with chia seeds can be served as such or the food product can be mixed with the food product resulting in the thickening of the food product.
- In one case, the food product commercially available as bubble tea. Also, popularly known as pearl milk tea, bubble milk tea, and Boba, is a Taiwan based beverage containing tea, milk, or flavors of milk, and optionally sugar. Also, the beverage can additionally comprise fruit jelly, grass jelly, agar jelly, aloe Vera jelly, sago, and puddings. The bubble tea can be served hot and cold. Ice-blended versions are frozen and put into a blender, resulting in a slushy consistency. The bubble tea, according to the present invention can be prepared by addition chia seeds in the pearl form. The chia seeds can be soaked in water or milk. The adding of chia seeds pearls to the bubble tea increases the consistency of the bubble tea and also makes the bubble tea chewier.
- Chia seeds as a natural ingredient are high in fiber, providing Vitamin D, Calcium. Iron, Potassium, antioxidants, and an excellent source of Omega 3. Chia seeds are easy to be digested, and do not need to be ground or milled to release their nutritional benefits. As a natural ingredient, Chia seed is a source of dietary protein providing essential amino acids. The unsaturated fatty acids in chia seeds are essential oils the body needs to help emulsified and absorb the fat-soluble vitamins A, and D, E, and K.
- Chia seeds do not need to be cooked separately. One quality of Chia seeds is its ability to absorb nearly twelve times its weight in water. Chia seeds contain water-soluble fiber that when wet, produces a gel. In one embodiment, the Chia seeds can be added directly to a beverage. In one case, simply mix Chia seeds with milk tea for a couple of hours. Therefore; Chia milk tea is easy to be prepared.
- In one embodiment, mix couple teaspoons of Chia seeds with milk tea, chilled overnight or couple hours (depend upon quantity) before serving. For 8 Oz size cup, 3 teaspoons of Chia seeds chilled with milk tea for three hours are good for serving. Mix fewer teaspoons to have more liquid-like drinks. Mix more teaspoons to have more jellylike drink or pudding form. The beverages can be customized in diverse ways having a range of consistencies.
- Chia seed can be a healthier alternative to the tapioca currently used in beverages and other food products. Traditional bubble tea also includes tapioca in a jelling agent. Also, the tapioca is widely marketed as an additive, in particular, as a thickening agent for food products. Chia seeds have an additional advantage over tapioca that the chia seeds can be soaked, unlike tapioca which has to be boiled. Thus, nutrition in the chia seeds is not destroyed due to boiling.
- In one embodiment, the food product is a beverage to which the chia seed pearls can be added. In one case, chia seeds pearls can be added to the beverage just before the consumption of the beverage. The beverage can include ingredients like sweeteners and flavoring agents. In one case, honey, chocolate, coffee, mint, etc. can be added to the beverage. In one case, the beverage is a bubble tea having sugar in place of honey. In one case, any suitable sweetener can be used including honey, sugar, Saccharin, sucrose, Stevia, and like. The type and quantity of sugar can be added based on the preference of the customers.
- In one embodiment, the chia seed can be soaked in water, milk tea, or a beverage for at least 5 minutes to form pearls of chia seeds. In one case, the chia seed can be soaked in water and honey. In one case, the pearls can be added to bubble tea replacing the tapioca. In one case, the pearls can be added to coffee, the coffee can be a hot coffee, cold coffee, or a cold brew coffee.
- In one preferred embodiment, the chia seeds are soaked in a liquid under dark conditions. This preserves some of the essential nutrients of the chia seeds. The pearls of the chia seed stored under dark conditions can be added to a beverage or food product before consumption. In one case, chia seeds are soaked with 12 times its weight of liquid under dark and refrigeration conditions for 3 hours. For example, 3 teaspoons of chia seeds can be soaked in 8 Oz liquid. The pearls of chia seeds formed can be then mixed with a beverage including the bubble tea. Perhaps the present invention provides an optimum range of temperature for preparing the pearls of chia seeds. It was discovered by the inventor that soaking chia seeds in dark environment at a temperature below 40 degrees Fahrenheit but above the freezing point result in the enhancement of the nutritional value of the pearls of chia seeds. Water generally freezes at a temperature below 32 degrees Fahrenheit. Thus, the present invention provides for soaking the chia seeds in a temperature range of 32-40 degrees Fahrenheit.
- The chia seed can be soaked in a liquid which is preferably water. The liquid can also be milk. In case, the liquid is water, the water can include flavoring agents and coloring agents. The flavoring agents and coloring agents known for use in food products are within the scope of the present invention.
- In one case, chia seed can be soaked in a liquid of volume 2-4 times the weight of chia seed. The pearls form by such as method results in the formation of pudding-like consistency of the beverage.
- In one case, the food product can be an ice cream shakes; slushy smoothies; crushed-fruit juices; puddings; tea type beverages, including green tea, black tea, white tea, Thai tea; coffee; mocha; chocolate-based beverages; milk including soya milk. The beverage can include sweeteners such as sucrose, honey, aspartame, and stevia. Flavors, such as agaves, vanilla extract, and fruit flavors can be added. In one case, crushed fruit juices can include juices of peach, plum, strawberry, apple, passion fruit, mango, lemon, watermelon, grape, lynches, pineapple, cantaloupe, honeydew, banana, avocado, coconut, kiwi fruit, jack fruit, taro, pomegranate, orange, blueberry. In one case, the food product can be yogurt, egg pudding. In one case, to the beverage can be added barley, sesame, almond, ginger, lavender, rose, caramel, violet, hibiscus flowers, mung bean, sago, yogurt, lime, cherry, guava.
- In one case, bubble tea is a preferred beverage according to the present invention and can include many varieties of flavor with ingredients including green tea, black tea, white tea, Thai tea, coffee, mocha, chocolate, milk, soy milk, syrup, honey, sugar, agaves, aspartame, vanilla extract, jelly, fruit, peach, plum, strawberry, apple, passion fruit, mango, lemon, watermelon, grape, lynches, pineapple, cantaloupe, honeydew, banana, avocado, coconut, kiwifruit, jackfruit, taro, barley, sesame, almond, ginger, lavender, rose, caramel, violet, hibiscus flowers, mung bean, egg pudding, sago, pomegranate, orange, blueberry, yogurt, lime, cherry, guava.
