ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a process for producing popped grain products enriched with vitamins, minerals and/or trace elements, especially popcorn. Before or during popping of the raw grain kernels a predetermined amount of vitamins and/or minerals and/or trace elements dissolved or dispersed by themselves alone or in a suitable carrier substance are placed in a suitable container in which the raw grain kernels are already located. The added micronutrients are heat treated together with the grain kernels for 1 to 5 minutes at a temperature from 130.degree. to 280.degree. C., or with microwaves at 400 to 1500 watts. At least most of the amount of micronutrients used are absorbed by the popping grain kernels and are uniformly distributed in them, so that a ready-to-eat popcorn product enriched with micronutrients is obtained.
