Original Ancient Grain Granola — MUNCH
Munch or Dump rates Original Ancient Grain Granola by purely elizabeth. MUNCH — score 88/90.
A genuinely clean granola: organic whole grains, seeds, and a single unrefined sweetener, with no artificial flavors, emulsifiers, or fillers. Coconut sugar is still added sugar, so it is sweet, but there is no sweetener stacking and nothing engineered here. The superfood marketing is one of the rare cases where the label matches the bag.
Why this verdict
- Short, recognizable, all-organic ingredient list
- Single sweetener (coconut sugar) with no stacked syrups or sugar alcohols
- Real superfood seeds and grains: amaranth, quinoa, chia, sunflower
- No artificial flavors, colors, emulsifiers, or preservatives
