Ingredients (13)
- Wholegrain Oats (48%) (safe) — Whole grain, high in fibre and slow-release carbs; the backbone of this granola.
- Seeds (Sunflower, Pumpkin, Brown Linseed, Chia) (safe) — Whole seeds delivering healthy fats, protein and extra fibre.
- Nuts (Walnuts, Almonds) (safe) — Whole nuts with good fats, protein and micronutrients.
- Vegetable Fibres (Chickpea, Maize) (safe) — Plant fibres that add bulk and feed gut bacteria; minimally processed.
- Chicory Root Fibre (safe) — Prebiotic inulin fibre; feeds gut bacteria, though large amounts can cause bloating.
- Extra Virgin Olive Oil (safe) — Cold-pressed olive oil, rich in monounsaturated fat and polyphenols. A staple culinary fat, not a food to eat by the spoonful.
- Puffed Sorghum (safe) — Whole ancient grain, simply puffed; adds crunch and fibre.
- Dates (safe) — Whole dried fruit — the binder and sole sugar source, bringing fiber and potassium along with the sweetness.
- Coconut (safe) — Real coconut; the one whole-food element, but very high in saturated fat.
- quinoa (safe) — Whole grain, trace amount.
- Dried Carrot (safe) — Whole vegetable, adds fibre and micronutrients.
- Puffed Lentils (safe) — Whole legume, puffed for crunch; adds protein and fibre.
- Natural Flavourings (moderate) — Undisclosed flavor compounds added to make refined spread taste buttery.
