What it is
Granola is a breakfast and snack food made from rolled oats, nuts, and a sweetener like honey or maple syrup, baked until crunchy. A "10 Grain Granola" typically includes a blend of ten different grains, which can vary but often feature oats, wheat, barley, rye, corn, rice, triticale, millet, quinoa, and buckwheat.
Why it's used
Manufacturers add granola to products primarily for its texture, flavor, and nutritional value, providing fiber and energy. It is commonly found in snack bars, breakfast cereals, and as a topping for yogurt or desserts.
Health notes
"10 Grain Granola" is a food product, not a food additive, and therefore is not subject to FDA approval as an additive. Its health impact depends on its specific ingredients, including sugar, fat, and fiber content. The Dietary Guidelines for Americans (2025-2030) recommend limiting added sugars and saturated fat.
Allergen info
Depending on its specific composition, 10 Grain Granola can contain major allergens such as wheat (from grains like wheat, barley, rye) and tree nuts (e.g., almonds, walnuts). It may also contain soy or sesame.
