Abstract: This invention discloses a clean-label, ready-to-consume, nutrient-enriched carrot-ball confection formulated as a minimally processed functional snack suitable for all age groups.

Analytical characterization indicates a balanced, stable nutritional profile featuring an inorganic mineral ash content of 2.03% (w/w), a controlled storage moisture level of approximately 21.55% (w/w), a crude plant-based protein content of 7.7% (w/w), a vitamin C antioxidant concentration of 0.003% (w/w), and a healthy lipid fraction of 35% (w/w) derived from functional seeds and nuts.
