The O.G Granola – The Legend Returns!

 “Oh no, I don’t share it with anyone else in the family. As soon as I tasted it, I hid it so I don’t have to share it.” 

 “My housemate and I got the 1kg bag to share between us. Well, the other day we got down to the last crumbs in the bottom of the bag and you should’ve seen us. It was on for young and old, we were chasing each other around the house for those last crumbs!” 

 This phenomenon continued more recently with our two other co-founder’s families and they are the exact reasons they all encouraged Annie to bring back the granola. So, with a bit of tweaking and under our new brand, we give you “The O.G Granola”. 

 Let’s look at the product features: 

This combination of ingredients packs so much more of a punch than just a bag of deliciousness! There are powerhouses in that list which deserve their own limelight. Let’s start with the coconut and coconut oil. In The O.G Granola, a 1kg bag contains 60g of MCTs because of the coconut products. MCTs, or medium chain triglycerides, are a type of fat that provide quick, clean energy to our bodies. But the benefits don’t stop there. You can include weight management, brain function and mental clarity, and gut health due to their antimicrobial properties. Coconut oil contains lauric acid which also has antimicrobial and antifungal properties.  

How about pepitas (aka pumpkin seeds)? These contain a type of terpene called cucurbitacin. Terpenes are used to fight intestinal parasites. If you’re doing a full parasite cleanse – see our podcast with Annie on this here https://open.spotify.com/episode/08Rj7hEow7q3fXcHGwYbkY?si=WOiPY_W7T2uKyI9fPz0Aeg – snacking on raw or roasted peptitas will supercharge your parasite cleanse. So, the humble little pepita is also great for gut health. 

Even smaller than the pepita is the sunflower seed. This seed is packed full of essential nutrients. Vitamin E and selenium are antioxidants that protect our cells from oxidative damage. B vitamins for energy and overall metabolism. Magnesium and tryptophan promote good moods, reducing anxiety. Zinc supports immune function. Magnesium and phosphorous help maintain health bones. The healthy fats can also lower our bad cholesterol levels. 

Cinnamon is rich in antioxidants and has anti-inflammatory properties. Supports heart health by reducing cholesterol and blood pressure. It also has antimicrobial and antifungal properties, joining the coconut in supporting our immune function. Cinnamon also helps with gut health. 

Celtic salt, apart from its culinary feature of lifting the flavour of all other ingredients, is rich in minerals, balancing our electrolyte levels which we need for hydration, muscle function and nerve transmission. It also promotes hydration by retaining moisture in the body. 

 So, there you have it. The O.G Granola. Packed full of nutrient rich ingredients, healthy fats and downright deliciousness. Coeliacs, gluten intolerances, keto/lchf (low carb high fat) groups, we’ve got you covered! Not to mention brain, heart, digestive and immune health.
