WHAT IS MUESLI?
Muesli is a ready-to-eat cereal consisting of a base of oats and whole grains mixed with variety of ingredients including nuts, seeds, dried fruits, and sweets. It is a popular breakfast food worldwide, particularly in Europe, Australia, and New Zealand. It is a versatile cereal that is consumed in many ways. It can be soaked in milk, water, or juice and eaten cold. It can be cooked in boiling water or milk and eaten like traditional oatmeal. It can be added to yogurt, fruit salads, or used in baking recipes. We encourage you to freshen up your muesli with fruit from your local farmers.

COLD WITH YOGURT
For a quick snack on the go, stir muesli in with your favorite yogurt.

COLD WITH MILK
Pour milk over your muesli. It can be eaten immediately or covered and soaked over night. The longer it soaks, the richer the flavor.

HOT ON STOVETOP
Mix 1/3 cup muesli with 1/3 cup of water or milk and, stirring occasionally, bring to a boil, then remove from heat and let cool.

HOT IN MICROWAVE
Add 1/3 cup muesli to 1/3 cup water or milk. Microwave on high for 2 minutes.
MUESLI VS GRANOLA
Muesli and granola are similar and are often confused on store shelves. With common ingredients of grains, fruits, nuts, and seeds, these breakfast choices are actually quite different in origin, nutrition, and health benefits. Muesli is often endearingly called the healthy sibling of granola. Granola is typically baked with sugar and oil, thus higher in fat and calories. Muesli tends to be a bit drier and, thus, is typically eaten as a breakfast cereal. It can be eaten cold with any sort of milk or yogurt or it can be cooked hot like oatmeal.
