  • Publication number: 20090087527
    Abstract: A method of producing cooked cereal grains containing a high level of whole oats for a shredded ready-to-eat cereal. The method begins by disposing a whole grain oat into a mixer. The whole grain oat has an exposed first starch. Next, a second whole grain is disposed into the mixer. The second whole grain has an exposed second starch that is different from the first starch. A third starch is disposed into the mixer to act as a binder of the whole grain oat and second whole grain. Water is added to the mixer to form a mixture that is cooked to form cooked cereal grains containing high levels of whole oats. The cooked grains are shredded and layered to form a shredded wheat-like biscuit.
