ABSTRACT:
A method of preparing a reconstitutable, dehydrated whole bean product is shown. The method calls for utilizing a combination convection/microwave heating chamber to dry cooked whole beans in such a way as to preserve the integrity of the beans and, thus, significantly enhance the texture and quality of the bean product. The method requires a shorter amount of time than, and enables a significant reduction in the amount of bird mouthing that, is prevalent in existing methods.
