This invention also discloses an infused corn and/or soybean produced by the process of infusing the corn and/or soybean at a temperature of less than about 1200 F with a solution comprising water, a bridge initiator for acid salt bias, fortifying agent(s), and an acid in a quantity sufficient to reach a pH of about 3.65. Further, this invention provides a method for the infusion of a corn and/or soybean with at least one fortifying agent at approximately room temperature.WO 2008/014411 PCT/US2007/074511 FIGURE 1/2 ROAST THE CORN ALLOW THE CORN TO COOL PLACE THE CORN IN A MIXING DEVICE ADD A FORTIFYING LIQUID TO THE CORN IN THE MIXING DEVICE SPIN THE CORN IN THE MIXING DEVICE REMOVE THE INFUSED CORN FROM THE MIXING DEVICE
