There is provided edible compositions and methods of manufacturing edible compositions comprising a base comprising fruit and/or vegetable matter with a fibrous matrix and a water immiscible nutritional supplement held within, including on the surface of the fibrous matrix. The nutritional supplement can comprise nutritional, functional and/or nutraceutical oils such as unsaturated or partly unsaturated fatty acids from both animal, including fish, plant and algal sources. The composition may also comprise solid nutritional supplements. The fibrous matrix helps to both retain the nutritional supplement to prevent separation of the supplement within the base and further helps to organoleptically mask the presence of the nutritional supplements in the composition.
An edible composition comprising tomato ketchup, the edible composition having a base comprising fruit and/or vegetable matter, a fibrous matrix, and a water immiscible nutritional supplement held within the fibrous matrix, the nutritional supplement comprising an oil, the oil being rich in Omega 3 fatty acids, wherein the nutritional supplement is in the form of droplets, the majority of which have an external diameter of less than 30 microns.
