Granola

Granola is generally viewed as being a healthy breakfast or snack option.  This crunchy food made its commercial debut by Dr. John Harvey Kellogg (yes, that Kellogg) due to its healthy benefits, great taste and shelf stability.  Dr. Kellogg believed that the traditional hearty breakfasts of the time could be healthier, while at the same time provide the same levels of nutrients.  When he discovered granola, he knew he was on to something.

Today, not all granolas are created the same.  There are in fact vast differences in granolas on the market. Many granolas contain many artificial, filler ingredients, such as corn puffs and high fructose corn syrup. These tend to lack many health benefits that consumers expect from granola and often taste unnatural.

Mass produced granola does not have to be unhealthy or tasteless.  It's all about creating food innovation teams and food scientists creating the proper recipes with taste profiles and specifications and doing so with natural ingredients.  This is no easy feat in any product, pies, bagels or in this case, granola.

When done right, competitively priced, nutritious and delicious granola options can fill the shopping carts of loyal customers looking to ensure their families get the best options and the best price.
