Pinkie's Farm Crunchy Granola

TASTING NOTES FROM THE CURATOR

Crafted and baked with care and attention to quality, the Pinkie’s Farm Crunchy Granola is an energizing blend of old-fashioned rolled oats, vegetable oil, maple syrup, salt, cashew nuts, brown sugar, pepitas, and raisins.

It’s slow-roasted to perfection, and the raisins give a sweet (but not too sweet), chewy contrast to the crunch from the nuts and seeds.

PREPARATION AND PAIRINGS

You can enjoy the Pinkie’s Farm Crunchy Granola on its own, as a healthy alternative snack for when you’re reading, or watching TV. You can also pair it with yogurt, of course. It’s the perfect breakfast. Fold it in with a bowl of Pinkie’s Farm Full Cream Greek Yogurt, and drizzle a little Pyur Honey on it if you want to add just a tinge more of sweetness.

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.
