Abstract: The present invention relates to a composition comprising at least 0.1 wt. % of granules suitable for use in foodstuffs, said granules having an average diameter in the range of 30-3000 ?m and comprising: a. 3-70 wt. of a plurality of non-lipophilic particles with an average diameter in the range of 3-300 ?m, said particles containing at least 0.1 wt. % of one or more functional food ingredients; b. 10-80 wt. % of a discrete continuous phase containing at least 90 wt. % lipids, which continuous phase envelops the non-lipophilic particles and holds them together, the combination of non-lipophilic particles and the continuous phase forming an agglomerate with a diameter in the range of 20-2000 ?m; and c. 10-80 wt. % of an exterior lipophilic layer that encompasses the agglomerate, which lipophilic layer exhibits a slip melting point of at least 30° C.
