Described are food compositions including doughs, extrudates, and finished puffed food compositions derived therefrom. The food compositions contain hemp protein, non-hemp protein, and starch. Such a food composition contains at least 40 weight percent total protein and less than 10 weight percent total fat, based on total weight of the food composition on a dry basis. Advantageously, the finished food product has a surprisingly crunchy texture. Additionally, the finished food product has improved storage stability as compared to compositions having greater levels of hemp fat.

The present application discloses a nutritional composition for tonifying spleen. The nutritional composition includes the following components of raw materials in parts by weight: rice 50-90, soybean 8-23, Semen coicis 2-12, Gorgon euryale seed 3-12, poria 0.4-1.6, and Chinese date 0.3-1.5. The present disclosure, in view of the spleen's special susceptibility to dampness pathogen, complies with the physiological function characteristics of the spleen itself, provides the prescription with an assistant effect of restoring the spleen's function as a starting point, is suitable to cooperate with staple foods for long-term consumption and easily accepted by people due to the good taste, and can achieve certain efficacies of tonifying the spleen and removing dampness.

This group of inventions relates to a method for manufacturing and a composition of the rice crispbreads, containing rice grits, water and a flavouring additive, which includes concentrated fruit and/or vegetable juice or a mixture of fruit and/or vegetable juices in a mixture with berry and/or fruit puree, a natural flavour, beta-carotene. A method for manufacturing of the rice crispbreads contains a treatment of the rice grits by purifying them from impurities and subsequent moistening with water; extruding the finished rice grits with simultaneous baking and briquetting; applying the flavouring additive on a surface of the crispbreads by spraying, the components for manufacturing of the crispbreads being taken according to the above composition.

A snack food is prepared by a unique process including extruding an extrusion composition under heat and pressure to form an expanded, cooked, egg and added-protein snack food, wherein the extrusion composition includes a) whole liquid egg present in an amount of from about 5 to about 25% by weight based on the total weight of the extrusion composition, b) an added protein concentrate or isolate selected from the group consisting of rice protein, soy protein, whey protein or mixtures thereof, in an amount so that the total protein present in the expanded, cooked, egg and added-protein snack food is from about 25 to about 40% by weight, and c) starch in an amount sufficient to provide an expanded, cooked, egg and added-protein snack food having a density no greater than about 300 grams per cubic inch.
