Product Information

Granola is a food consisting of rolled oats, nuts, seeds, honey or other sweeteners such as brown sugar, and sometimes puffed rice, that is usually baked until crisp, toasted and golden brown. The mixture is stirred while baking to avoid burning and to maintain a loose breakfast cereal consistency. Dried fruit, such as raisins and dates, and confections such as chocolate are sometimes added. Granola is often eaten in combination with yogurt, honey, fresh fruit (such as bananas, strawberries or blueberries), milk or other forms of cereal. It also serves as a topping for various pastries, desserts or ice cream. Muesli is similar to granola, except that it is traditionally neither sweetened nor baked. Break up the granola once it’s cooled by stirring in sultanas or raisins. Keep in a sealed container for up to a month. Pour in the oil, maple syrup and/or honey and vanilla. Mix well, until every oat and nut is lightly coated. Pour the granola onto your prepared pan and use a large spoon to spread it in an even layer. chopped and flaked nuts (such as hazelnuts and almonds – about double the amount of chopped to flaked)

It also has a vasodilatory action on blood vessels that contributes greatly to blood pressure modulation, and also helps to regulate kidney function. 9. Helps Treat Anemia Oatmeal is known to reduce cholesterol by virtue of its high soluble fiber content, something that granola also possesses and allows you to add versatility to your meals.
