ABSTRACT:
Disclosed are dried green vegetables, especially broccoli florets and pea-pods, characterized by superior color retention compared to conventionally dried vegetables of equivalent water activity stored at comparable temperatures. The present products also exhibit excellent rehydration rates and superior texture and appearance upon rehydration. In its method aspect, the invention resides in improved infusion techniques, including infusion of particularly defined alkaline buffer systems and tocopherol into the vegetable pieces. The instant dried vegetables find particular suitability for use in shelf stable packaged dry mixes for oriental or stir fry meals, dry mixes for cold pasta salads and casseroles.
