What is granola?
The granola is a mixture of natural foods, not processed: it can be different, or you can prepare it to taste. It usually contains cereals such as oats, dried fruits (nuts, almonds, peanuts), dried or dehydrated fruits (raisins, apples, red fruits ...), seeds (flax, pumpkin), and is usually sweetened with a little honey.
How do you prepare?
We can buy the granola prepared. They usually sell in supermarkets in the breakfast and cereal section. They make it by baking the mixture of cereals, nuts and seeds, and adding a pinch of honey. The texture is like other breakfast cereals. You can make your own mix at home.
