<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide food richly containing active ingredients falling in the husks of bean such as red bean, and also having low calorie while having favorable flavor inherent in the bean, and to provide a method for producing food material containing bean husks as raw material. ??<P>SOLUTION: The food contains bean husks (A), as raw material, pulverized to have a desired particle diameter with wet grinding treatment. The method for producing food material containing bean husks as raw material comprises: a dehydration process S10 for dehydrating the moisture of the husks (A) separated from the red bean (a) after cooked so as to be in a prescribed moist condition; a primary pulverization process S11 for pulverizing the husks (A) obtained through the dehydration process to have a prescribed particle diameter; a hydrolytic adjustment process S12 where the water content of the husk powder A-1 obtained through the primary pulverization process is adjusted into a prescribed moisture condition via the hydrolytic adjustment; and a secondary pulverization process S13 for separately pulverizing the palisade tissue of the dried powder A-1 obtained through the hydrolytic adjustment process, into thin and almost stick-like state. ??<P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT ??
