• Granola is a food made primarily with rolled oats, nuts, and honey. Dried fruit is often added for extra nutrition and flavor. Granola is also a popular choice when hiking and camping because it is nutritious and light weight and easy to carry.

  Granola was invented in 1863 by James Caleb Jackson for a health spa and called it Granula. In 1972 the first major granola cereal was introduced called Heartland Natural Cereal.

  When making your own granola ingredients can be adjusted to your own personal tastes. There is no set standard in making granola.
