The present invention relates to a method of producing a non-dairy frozen confectionery, the method comprising the steps of: 1) providing a grain based ingredient mix comprising plant syrup and having 20-40 wt. % solids, pasteurizing the grain based ingredient mix, fermenting the pasteurized grain based mix with a culture, and cooling the fermented grain ingredient based ingredient mix, and 2) providing a nut and/or seed based ingredient mix comprising 40-60 wt. % solids and 3) combining it with the cooled fermented grain based ingredient mix, and freezing while optionally aerating the combined grain and nut and/or seed based mixes, to form a frozen confectionery. The invention also relates to a non-dairy frozen confectionery comprising 3-20 wt. % grain fermented with Streptococcus thermophilus, and 4-40 wt. % seed and/or nuts.

Probiotic Bifidobacterium strain AH1714 is significantly immunomodulatory following oral consumption. The strain is useful as an immunomodulatory biotherapeutic agent.

Pasteurized juice products formed from raw cannabis are provided. First, a cannabis juice purée having a particular cannabinoid profile is formed. Next, the cannabis juice purée is pasteurized without decarboxylating any cannabinoids in the cannabis juice purée thereby obtaining a pasteurized cannabis juice purée. In one example, the pasteurizing is performed using flash pasteurization, such as a High Temperature Short Time (HTST) pasteurization process. The flash pasteurization process neutralizes pathogens such as bacteria and parasites. Next, the pasteurized cannabis juice purée is packaged into a container thereby obtaining a packaged pasteurized cannabis juice purée. The container is a food-grade bottled juice container, an ice pop container, or a juice cube container. The packaged pasteurized cannabis juice purée contains only non-decarboxylated cannabinoids. In other embodiments, additional cannabinoids are added before or after the HTST pasteurization process. In other embodiments, the packaged pasteurized cannabis juice purée includes decarboxylated cannabinoids.
