Abstract: A food composition or product is described comprising a finely ground nut-seed component, a liquefying agent, and salt, combined with (a) baking soda and a starch; or (b) at least one sweetening agent; or (c) baking soda, a starch and at least one sweetening agent.

Abstract: A food product or composition has from about 23% to about 42% by weight of at least one of the group consisting of almonds and cashews, wherein the almonds and/or cashews have been finely ground, from about 27% to about 65% by weight of a liquefying agent capable of forming a cream when combined with the almonds and/or cashews, from about 10% to about 19% by weight of a sweetening agent, and from about 0.0003% to about 0.0005% by weight of salt. The composition is made by grinding from about 23% to about 42% by weight of at least one of the group consisting of almonds and cashews, and adding from about 27% to about 65% by weight of a liquefying agent to form a cream. To this cream is added from about 10% to about 19% by weight of a sweetening agent, and from about 0.0003% to about 0.0006% by weight of salt, to form a mixture, which may then be frozen.

Abstract: Ruminant repellent compositions consisting essentially of active ingredients derived from, or equivalent to, chemicals found in plants in the Amaryllidaceae family. Particularly, ruminant repellent compositions consisting essentially of at least one of: Methods are also provided for protecting foliage from grazing by ruminants comprising applying a ruminant repellent composition of the present invention to the foliage, thereby imparting the taste and/or smell of certain plants in the Amaryllidaceae family to the vegetation, which is thus made unpalatable to browsing ruminants.
