Muesli is a mixture of grains, nuts, fruits, and other additives. They are consumed cold and hot, poured over with milk or water.

Granola can include all kinds of nutritious and crunchy additions: honey or chocolate crunches, puffed flakes, dried fruits (raisins, figs, dried apricots or prunes), coconut, seeds (sunflower, pumpkin, sesame), nuts (almonds, cashews, hazelnuts or walnuts). And this is just a short list of what can be added to granola. Thanks to this range of products, granola is a healthy breakfast that will provide energy and vigor for the whole day.
Granola is prized for its lumpiness, which is achieved by the addition of oil and heat treatment, which helps to bind the product into a homogeneous mass.
