Granola – who coined that term?

Granola has always been touted as a health food and was invented in 1894. The food and name were revived in the 1960s, and fruits and nuts were added to it to make it a health food that was popular with the hippie movement. At the time, several people claim to have revived or re-invented granola. I bought my favorite granola (Goodrun) today, first time since going VEGAN and I was shocked to find out at home that it had 6 mg of cholesterol per serving! So it is totally not vegan because cholesterol only comes from animal sources and sure enough, this super tasty and not too high in calorie granola that comes from the health food store in a homemade looking container has condensed milk and butter in it! Buyer beware! Plus I’m sad because this cashew granola is delicious! Next is Muesli!
