Driven by hunger, we are searching for not only satisfaction but also the healing energy. We all search for recovery from our hectic life, hungry for the power to fulfill our activities for the day ahead. Mona’s Original Granola calls out to all those needs. Combinations of highly nutritional foods energize the body and comfort our cravings for crunchy grains with a naturally sweet kiss of honey.

Mona’s Granola achieves this with the recipe of nourishing whole oats, adding sunflower seeds, wheat germ, bran, and almonds.

Each ingredient individually is important but when combined synergistically they become even more powerful. Created with the benefits in mind that each ingredient provides in 1981, it wasn’t until the year 2000, almost 20 years later, when the American Medical Association reported a study on this grain combination.

Researchers at Brigham and Women’s Hospital and Harvard Medical School in Boston found wheat germ, bran and other whole grains, such as oats, may reduce a woman’s risk of a stroke by nearly 50 percent.

Also, take a closer look at wheat germ, sunflower seeds and almonds, which are rich in Vitamin E. As reported in the Journal of the American Medical Association, low blood levels of Vitamin E are linked to greater physical decline in older people, according to a new 2008 study from Yale University School of Medicine.
