Abstract: The present invention describes dehydrated crispy products containing cereal flour and products of vegetable origin (fruits and/or vegetables) and which, once rehydrated, have specific textural features. Said products can be advantageously incorporated into dehydrated food intended for persons with problems chewing, for example young children and babies. They are advantageously used as is by rehydrating same in a liquid (hot or cold), particularly in milk. They can also be incorporated into a dry hydratable food (for example a powder for a mash, or a porridge). Once brought into contact with a liquid, said products rehydrate quickly and the rehydrated products maintain an integral structure for several minutes.

Abstract: The present invention concerns a new method for dehydrating natural fruit and/or vegetable products in order to modify their textural properties, so as to obtain chewy and non-sticky dices or pieces intended to be used by people having (or suffering from) difficult chewing, for example in sweet food, in dried savoury food, in baby food, hospital food, food for seniors and/or clinical nutrition for people with medical conditions.
