PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an instant buckwheat porridge which can be simply and easily cooked to an edible state in a short time with reduced energy costs required for heating and freeze-drying, and can be efficiently processed through processing for reducing cooking time at a high yield rate with a reduced amount of waste generated in the processing step.SOLUTION: The instant buckwheat porridge includes seeds of Fagopyrum tataricum with the skin removed and the internal starch pregelatinized. The granular form of the seeds are retained by the pregelatinized starch. A pressure to crush the surface is applied to the seeds, so that an infinite number of crush marks are formed all over the surface. Further, the compressed surface under pressure has a non-planar shape. The crush marks are formed all over the surface including the compressed surface with a non-planar shape, so that the whole surface of the seeds of Fagopyrum tataricum has random irregularities.COPYRIGHT: (C)2015,JPO&INPIT【課題】簡単かつ容易に、しかも加熱や凍結乾燥に要するエネルギーコストを削減しながら、速やかに食する状態に調理できる即席ソバ米とし、また調理時間を短くするように加工しながら、加工工程における屑の発生量を少なくして高い歩留まりで効率よく加工できるようにする。【解決手段】即席ソバ米は、果皮を除去して含有する澱粉をα化されており、α化された澱粉で粒状に保形してなるダッタンソバの実を、表面が破砕される圧力で加圧されて無数の破砕痕を表面全体に設けており、さらに加圧された被プレス面を非平面状として、この非平面状の被プレス面を含む表面全体に破砕痕を設けて、ダッタンソバの実の表面全体をランダム凹凸面としている。【選択図】図1
