by Hand Granola
So I happen to LOVE this granola. I had seen it in little places around the South Bay, and I figured I’d give it a try since it’s a local business, family run and has a cute story – the one we all want to hear. Someone just LOVES something so much (mmm granola) and wants to make a business out of it because then work is play and they feel good about selling their passion. They bring their family into it and voila! Everyone is having a great time making their living from something they actually love and don’t feel like they are ‘pushing’ on anyone else.Okay. So. Down to the nitty gritty. Is it good?YES! I’ve had my share of granola, the generic kinds when I was younger, the Kashi kind (which actually has GMO’s in them despite their non-GMO labelling according to Dr. Mercola), the Whole Foods bulk bins kinds and my own home-made kind. I know my granola. by Hand’s is particularly good! My mom even, who is somewhat of a food-snob (which is totally fine and she knows it) and usually doesn’t have cinnamon, tried a piece and actually said it was “really good” which is just crazy coming from her. She pointed out its very cinnamon-taste but said she did like it ‘somehow.’
All in all, I loved it. I will most definitely have it in my yogurt because the only ingredient that raised any flag with me was the soy powder, but I wouldn’t be eating enough of it at one time to cause any issues. (I have learned that soy is a thyroid-suppressant and mucus-forming in the body – in fact Oprah ‘blew out’ her thyroid consuming a lot of soy, and Natalia Rose, CN and author of Raw Food Detox Diet and Raw Food Life Force Energy considers it the most mucus-forming food on the Planet).
Try this granola!
