Abstract
This invention is a process for producing a mixed grain instant hot cereal product by cutting different grains by a steel cutting method, mixing the dry grains together, steaming the mixture, rolling the cooked grains on a flaking roller to form flakes, and baking the flakes. The process produces thicker than normal toasted flakes of high flake integrity that withstand packaging, shipping, and rehydration cooking.
