Are granola and muesli the same thing?
No. Muesli is a mixture of cereal flakes and dried fruits, nuts, and confectionery ingredients. Granola is also a similar mixture, but cooked, toasted. In addition, crunchy granola is also crunchy. As a result, it can be consumed straight out of the bag without pouring milk or anything else. On the other side of muesli stand instant porridge, which is ready minutes after being poured over boiling water or hot milk.
Does granola contain sugar?
Yes, it does. Even if it says "No added sugar" on the package, the sugars are still contained in the dried fruits and berries. Also, adding honey or molasses when roasting is also adding sugar. Remember: honey is a mixture of sugars including fructose, glucose, maltose and sucrose. However, we do have granola recipes with sugar substitutes. For example, stevia, the vegetable sweetener known as stevioside, an E960 food additive. Stevia is 250-300 times sweeter than sugar and has no glycemic index, so even diabetics can use this sweetener.
Is granola a vegan product?
Almost all granola is plant-based. However, if with the addition of honey, it is already a product from bees. It's up to you to decide how that fits with your diet. We have completely vegetarian granola options.
Does granola contain gluten?
Normally, granola contains gluten because it is part of the oat flakes. However, we have gluten-free granola recipes made from rice, buckwheat, and corn flakes. If you have a desire for your own gluten-free granola, negotiate this at the beginning of production. You will have to make a clean line and additionally control the starting products. Since gluten contamination can occur even in gluten-free grains during the harvesting and processing phase due to contact with other grains.
What berries, dried fruits and nuts are added to granola?
Any kind, but good quality. The granola ingredients are tightly controlled at the ingredient supply stage. Think about it, why would you buy a substandard ingredient and then put so much effort into making granola? As the Filipinos say, "you can't make a good meal out of bad food." Nuts and seeds can be raw and roasted, in addition to dried fruits and dried berries can be used freeze-dried. Confectionery ingredients, chocolate or frosting are also used. We have many different recipes and can develop more specifically for you.
