A high-volume method of manufacturing a vegetable-based cluster-type snack-food product with a low-sugar binder, carried out in a manufacturing line, includes inputting a supply of a vegetable cluster component to a manufacturing line, inputting a supply of a binder component to the manufacturing li
A high-volume method of manufacturing a vegetable-based cluster-type snack-food product with a low-sugar binder, carried out in a manufacturing line, includes inputting a supply of a vegetable cluster component to a manufacturing line, inputting a supply of a binder component to the manufacturing line, mixing a quantity of the supply of the binder component together with a quantity of the supply of the vegetable cluster component to produce a mixture, and manipulating the mixture of binder component and vegetable cluster component to produce a plurality of vegetable snack-food product clusters. The vegetable cluster component predominantly includes whole or pieces of savory and/or salty culinary vegetables. The binder component is produced predominantly from soluble fiber. The vegetable snack-food product clusters are bound together by the binder component.

1. A high-volume method of manufacturing a vegetable-based cluster-type snack-food product in a thin slab format with an isolated soluble fiber-based binder fiber reinforcement, carried out in a manufacturing line, comprising: inputting a supply of a vegetable cluster component to a manufacturing li
1. A high-volume method of manufacturing a vegetable-based cluster-type snack-food product in a thin slab format with an isolated soluble fiber-based binder fiber reinforcement, carried out in a manufacturing line, comprising: inputting a supply of a vegetable cluster component to a manufacturing line, wherein the vegetable cluster component predominantly includes whole or pieces of savory and/or salty culinary vegetables, wherein such savory and/or salty culinary vegetables are naturally savory and/or salty or have already had savory mixtures or salt added thereto;inputting a supply of one or more accessory ingredients to the manufacturing line, wherein the accessory ingredients provide one or more of a taste function, a preservative function, a filler function, or a stabilizer function;inputting a supply of a tree nut component to the manufacturing line to provide structural decking/reinforcement;inputting a supply of a binder component to the manufacturing line, wherein the binder component is produced predominantly from, and reinforced with, an isolated soluble fiber;mixing a quantity of the supply of the binder component, a quantity of the supply of one or more accessory ingredients, and a quantity of the supply of the tree nut component together with a quantity of the supply of the vegetable cluster component to produce a mixture; andmanipulating the mixture of binder component, accessory component, decking component, and vegetable cluster component, wherein the manipulating step includes slab rolling the mixture to produce a plurality of slab-shaped vegetable snack-food product clusters that have a thickness of no more than 25 mm, a width of at least 20 mm, and a length of at least 20 mm;wherein the slab-shaped vegetable snack-food product clusters are bound together and reinforced by the isolated soluble fiber-reinforced binder component and the structural decking of the tree nut component. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein the vegetable cluster component includes pieces of leafy green vegetables. 3. The method of claim 2, wherein the leafy green vegetables include at least one of spinach, kale, and parsley. 4. The method of claim 1, further comprising a step of heating the binder component to facilitate binding the vegetable snack-food product clusters together. 5. The method of claim 4, wherein the heating step includes heating the binder component to at least 100 degrees F. 6. A high-volume method of manufacturing a shelf-stable vegetable-based cluster-type snack-food product with an isolated soluble fiber-based binder, carried out in a manufacturing line, comprising: inputting a supply of a vegetable cluster component to a manufacturing line, wherein the vegetable cluster component predominantly includes whole or pieces of savory and/or salty culinary vegetables, wherein such savory and/or salty culinary vegetables are naturally savory and/or salty or have already had savory mixtures or salt added thereto;inputting a supply of a binder component to the manufacturing line, wherein the binder component is produced predominantly from an isolated soluble fiber;mixing a quantity of the supply of the binder component together with a quantity of the supply of the vegetable cluster component to produce a mixture; andmanipulating the mixture of binder component and vegetable cluster component to produce a plurality of vegetable snack-food product clusters, wherein the manipulating step includes slab rolling the mixture of binder component and vegetable cluster component to produce a plurality of slab-shaped vegetable snack-food product clusters;wherein the vegetable snack-food product clusters are bound together by the isolated soluble fiber of the binder component without relying upon crystallization of sugar or glucose polymers in the binder component. 7. The method of claim 1, wherein the tree nut component includes shaped pieces of tree nuts. 8. The method of claim 1, wherein the tree nut component includes pieces of more than one type of tree nut. 9. The method of claim 1, wherein the tree nut component includes at least one tree nut selected from the group including almonds, Brazil nuts, cashews, chestnuts, filberts/hazelnuts, macadamia nuts, pecans, pistachios, pine nuts, and walnuts.
