Gerbs Original Seed n' Honey Granola
GLUTEN FREE ORIGINAL SEED & HONEY GRANOLA. This low sugar, no fruit granola is a customer favorite. It contains (GF) roasted oats, roasted sunflower seed kernels, honey, roasted pumpkin seeds & roasted brown flax seeds (read the label below). This is one of our very first granolas, and remains unchanged from the original recipe.
Nutritional Value of Gerbs Granola
The long list of health benefits commonly attributed to granola is mainly due to its nutrients including dietary fiber. The minerals in it include sodium, potassium, zinc, phosphorus, magnesium, calcium, and iron. Vitamins include vitamin E, vitamin C, niacin, vitamin E, and thiamin.
- Improved Digestion: Soluble fiber is good for alleviating symptoms of constipation, which can lead to a bevy of health issues, including colorectal cancer, indigestion, heartburn, and excess flatulence. The insoluble fiber can harden up loose stools and reduce the occurrence of diarrhea.
- Reduced Cholesterol Levels: The soluble fiber in granola is a known way to reduce harmful LDL cholesterol and promote the spread of HDL cholesterol (yes, it does exist!) throughout the body.
- Boosted Energy Levels: The other reason that many outdoor hikers and campers take granola on their trip is that it is a concentrated form of energy and will help give you that extra boost when you need it most.
- Prevention of Anemia: Granola has a significant amount of iron, so it counteracts many of the symptoms of anemia. Some ready-made granola is even further enriched with iron supplementation, versus granola that is made at home.
- Boosted Cognition: People often say that breakfast is the most important meal of the day and that it keeps your brain working throughout the day. That is especially true if you add granola to that since it reduces blood pressure in the body.
