Super “SOAKED” Cereal
In FIVE Unique and Flavorful Options!
Many
people refer to this product as "GRANOLA" but actually
if you read the label you'll see that the name is really
SUPER SOAKED CEREAL!
The term "granola" is recognizable by most people. And
one of the flavors, as you might remember, is called
"Coconut Granola" but the difference between
granola (which is sort of a snack food) and THIS
cereal (which could be a whole meal) is in the
SOAKING!
The soaking
process, which is beneficial to all grains, nuts and
seeds, transforms the oats from "dormant",
nutrient-blocking grains into a nutrient-dense, easier
to digest, flavorful and filling base to which we can
add more healthful, ORGANIC foods to make a super
nutritious, Super Soaked Cereal.
These products
can (and in many cases, should) replace your boxed
breakfast cereals - see this article on the processing
of cereals -
click here. The nutrient density of the Super
Soaked Cereal makes it more filling in smaller
quantities so a little goes a long way both in terms of
how full you will feel and how long your meal will
sustain you with energy.
If your bag of
"granola" makes it home with anything left in it, then
please try it with the milk of your choice - either
warmed or cold - and you'll have a satisfying, healthy
meal to either start (or end) your day.
What’s all
the fuss about?
Have you ever wondered what it takes to make one
bag of our Soaked & Dried Granolas? Well, if
you are enjoying a nut-variety, then it begins with 7-12
hours to soak the nuts (neutralizes the phytic acid and
increases the nutritional value of the nut – learn more
at
www.westonaprice.org ). Then the nuts get dried at
low temps for 48-60 hours (depending on the variety).
This process produces "crispy" nuts - with a snap
and a taste that will surprise and delight your
taste buds!
Once the nuts
are done we can begin the granola. Each batch is
measured and made in small, 7 pound quantities. The
granola "base" starts out the same for every flavor.
Once the base ingredients are combined the granola
SOAKS for 24 hours. Again this works on
neutralizing the phytic acid (phytic acid actually
BLOCKS the absorption of vitamins and minerals such as
calcium, magnesium, iron and zinc) while increasing the
nutritional make up of the grains, nuts or seeds.
After the
soaking, the final flavor combinations are mixed into
the base and the granola is dried at low temps for
another 24 hours.
Whew!
That's between 50 hours (for flavors without
nuts) and 100 hours (flavors WITH nuts) in
order to turn out ONE bag of granola!
All this
time, attention and energy is invested by our family,
for yours!
