ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a process for preparing rapidly reconstitutable, dehydrated legume products. Raw legumes are hydrated by treating, first with an alkaline solution to raise their pH to from about 6.7 to about 7.7 and their moisture content by at least about 5 wt. % to from about 30 to about 45 wt. %, and then by neutralizing with an acidic solution to lower their pH to from about 5.5 to about 6.5 and raise their moisture content by at least about 5 wt. % to from about 45 to about 60 wt. %. The hydrated beans are then cooked and dehydrated to produce legume products having the appearance and taste of their freshly prepared counterparts.
