The present invention relates to a procedure for mixing dehydated nopal
flour and/or other vegetable flours with cereal flours, refined and/or
whole flours from corn, wheat, oats and other leguminous and/or
oleaginous flours and obtaining peculiar foodstuffs due to color and
nutritional profile high in fiber and other nutrients. Humankind's diet
is generally low in dietary fiber, vegetables in general and nopal in
particular, are one of the richest natural sources of dietary fiber,
nopal's virtue is its very high content of insoluble fiber and soluble
fiber. Similarly, using this current procedure it is possible to
substitute water by liquefied nopal and/or other liquefied vegetables in
the elaboration of products like tortillas, bread, cookies, pastas, wheat
flour tortillas, etc., that may or may not be a step in the previous
procedure. In addition, substitution of typical breading and batter
formulations by nopal flour and/or other vegetables and/or products
elaborated by the previous procedures in the process of breading meat,
fish, seafood, and vegetables and other. On the other hand, using this
process it is possible to elaborate low calorie foodstuffs, based on cut
dehydrated nopal, seasoned or not.
