Weetabix
Densified Rice
Years
ago the popularity of our crisp rice gave rise to a new categoryof
applications but upon testing was rejected due to its tendency
to lose crispness in higher moisture applications and break easily.
And so Weetabix set to work developing a denser crisp rice product.
Designed to have few or none of the air pockets which make traditional
crisp rice so light, this product has a range of twice to three
times the density of traditional crisp rice. These factors also
lend a greater moisture resistance as well as a firmer texture.
Recent
successful applications include incorporation in a salad topping
where the product lends the texture of a nut without any of the
fat, in a topping for prepared fruit desserts, and as an ingre-dient
in a health bar. While these products have a higher moisture content
than traditional crisp rice applications, Densified Rice easily
maintains its crunch and texture. Formulation can be without sugar
for savory or health applications.
