GRANOLA FAQS

How are you supposed to eat our granola?

However you would like! The most popular ways people eat our granola is over yogurt, smoothies, cereal, or oatmeal.  It can also be a perfect snack right out of the bag!

Why do we use salt?

We use kosher salt in our granola because it is a great natural flavor enhancer.  Our granola does have a sweet and salty flavor to it, but each variety is considered low sodium by FDA standards. 

Why do we use butter?

We use butter because it is a natural animal byproduct that has been used since the time of the Roman Empire.  We believe that butter is a more flavorful source of fat, and it adds a softer texture to our granola. 

What kind of sweetener does our granola contain?

 We use clover or organic honey and non-gmo brown sugar. 

What is quinoa?

Our Cherry Almond fruit n' nut variety contains quinoa.  Quinoa is an edible seed, rich in protein, iron, and magnesium.  It carries a nutty taste that mixes very well with the tart cherries and blanched almonds in this granola. 

What is the difference between  the two honey pecan varieties?

The "All-Natural Honey Pecan" (green label) uses clover honey and conventionally grown oats. The orange label, grains and honey, uses USDA organic oats and a pure blended honey. The blended honey has a more pronounced honey flavor than clover honey, which is more complementary to other ingredients its paired with.
