Pinkie's Farm Autumn Granola

TASTING NOTES FROM THE CURATOR

The classic Pinkie’s Farm granola blend of old-fashioned rolled oats, maple syrup, brown sugar, pepitas, salt, and vegetable oil gets a fall season update with the addition of cranberries and walnuts. The beautiful crunch from the nuts and oats are balanced perfectly with the tart-sweetness from the cranberries. It’s a beautiful, refreshing blend that is delicious and energizing.

PREPARATION AND PAIRINGS

You can enjoy the Pinkie’s Farm Autumn Granola on its own, as a healthy alternative snack to munch on while reading, or watching TV. You can also pair it with yogurt, of course. Mix it up in a bowl of Pinkie’s Farm Low Fat Greek Yogurt, and sprinkle on some wild strawberries from France to make it a yummy berry party.

OUTSTANDING OATS

Rolled oats are a whole grain food that is lightly processed for consumption. Oat groats (or kernels) are dehusked and steamed. They are then rolled flat, then lightly toasted to stabilize. Rolled oats can be heated to make oatmeal, put in baked goods (like muffins, bars, and cookies), or, like in Pinkie’s Farm, included in granola.

Oats are known as one of the healthiest grains in the world. It’s a great source of fiber and carbs, and is rich in antioxidants. It can lower cholesterol levels, help control blood sugar levels, helps reduce the risk of heart disease, and helps with weight loss because of how filling it is.

Storage Instructions

Your granola comes in a resealable bag. You may keep your granola there (make sure that it’s completely sealed with as much air removed as possible), or transfer your granola into a different airtight container. Place in a cool, dark, dry area, like the pantry, or a cupboard away from appliances. Consume within 3 months.
