Abstract
Abstract An alimentary paste having improved texture and production and reconstitution properties. The paste is a wheat flour paste which is in the form of a multi-layer paste, or laminate, of a pair of outer layers having sandwiched therebetween, preferably, a single inner layer. The pastes of the respective layers are prepared such that the ratio of the amount of starch to the amount of protein of each of the outer layers is substantially greater than that of the inner layer.
