Granola Goes from Hippie to Hip
Nature’s Path Organic Foods Introduces AgavePlus™ with Sunflower Seeds and FlaxPlus™ Vanilla Almond Granolas
Richmond, BC – Once simply considered the bland-tasting food of choice for tree-huggers, granola has come a long way. Now Nature’s Path Organic Foods, North America’s number one organic cereal manufacturer, is packing granola with functional ingredients and serving up two new, whole grain, organic, delicious granolas that will be enjoyed at breakfast tables everywhere: AgavePlus™ with Sunflower Seeds Granola and FlaxPlus™ Vanilla Almond Granola. (Note: Nature’s Path still encourages tree-hugging!)
Nutritious, functional and delicious, Nature’s Path AgavePlus™ with Sunflower Seeds Granola contains:
- Agave nectar - a natural, low-glycemic sweetener that was a favorite food of the ancient Aztecs
- Sunflower seeds - have been shown to be a good source of phytochemicals (non-nutrient plant chemicals) like Vitamin E that can help protect against disease.†
- Organic rolled oats - a good source of fiber and whole grains
Nature’s Path FlaxPlus™ Vanilla Almond Granola contains:
- Flax seeds - an excellent source of Omega 3s, which have been shown to help reduce the risk of heart disease and may help reduce the inflammation of rheumatoid arthritis. Flax seeds also contain fiber, zinc, iron, vitamin E and calcium among other vitamins and minerals, and are low in saturated fat.††
- Almonds - packed full of fiber and protein
- Organic vanilla extract - to make it sweet and tasty
The granolas can be enjoyed with cold or warm milk, yogurt, combined with other cereals, added to favorite recipes or just on their own.
AgavePlus™ with Sunflower Seeds Granola and FlaxPlus™ Vanilla Almond Granola join Nature’s Path’s granola family including Pomegran Plus™ , Peanut Butter, Acai Apple, Ginger Zing™ , Hemp Plus™ and Pumpkin Flax Plus®. They will be available at grocery and natural food stores nationwide in November. The suggested retail price is $3.49.
