Abstract:

A protein fortified, natural cereal product is disclosed having a protein content above about 20% by weight which comprises a mixture of whole farinaceous grains, flavorants, and sweeteners with a textured vegetable protein material added for the purposes of protein supplementation without undesirable agglomeration of the grain particles and resistance to drying, both of which are normally associated with the addition of a vegetable protein flour to a natural cereal product.
