![]() | Matzo farfel granola was nominated for deletion. The discussion was closed on 5 April 2018 with a consensus to merge. Its contents were merged into Granola. The original page is now a redirect to this page. For the contribution history and old versions of the redirected article, please see its history; for its talk page, see here. |
Page needs attention. A weird, seemingly biased tone in there with regard to whether chewy granola "Should" be called granola, as if someone out there defines it. Sounds like portions of this article were written by a health nut.
I touched up as best I can but my writing skills are lacking.
There was a sentence at the end that said hippies are called "granola" "based on granola's constituency of fruits, nuts, and flakes." This seems somewhat questionable (granola is more like pellets than flakes), and probably NPOV. I would argue it has more to do with a hippie's preference toward "natural food" than that they are gay, crazy, or unreliable. -- Transfinite 04:02, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
just wanna know what makes granola different from muesli! thanks guys 138.217.222.63 01:12, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
Is a mention of the Neil Diamond song warranted here?
Granola made a major appearance at the 1969 Woodstock Music and Art Festival.
What the hell does this mean? More detail needed.
I am changing the attribution on the invention of the granola bar. Stanley Mason is a much more direct inventor and was actually involved in bringing it (and a noumber of other foods) to market. And Alton Brown agrees with me. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Litch ( talk • contribs) 09:37, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

Hi, I'm new to this, but I'm not sure that the Lassen Foods from Chico mentioned in the article is the same as the Lassen Foods grocery to which it is linked. I used to eat Lassen granola all the time as a kid, but it has not been available for some time, and the grocery chain seems to have no cereals of its own for sale. -- Cynsayshi ( talk) 17:15, 11 January 2009 (UTC)Cynsayshi
I note that the discussion and article so far refer to the American use of the name Granola. In general it appears to be a variation on what the rest of the world terms Muesli. In Australia and New Zealand, the name is owned by Sanitarium Health Food Company, where it denotes a product that does not resemble Muesli in any way. A hard multigrain flat biscuit is produced and then ground/broken into small pieces a few millimetres in size. This product is then packaged and sold. It is used as a breakfast cereal (steamed or boiled - my family puts 1/2 cup Granola in a bowl, adds 1/2 cup boiling water, covers the bowl, and waits 10 minutes - produces a soft hot tasty cereal); also used as a base in cooking vegetarian roasts... Whether this should be a disambiguated entry, or a subtitle under this entry, is a question... Ptilinopus ( talk) 23:51, 6 April 2010 (UTC)

In my experience a cereal bar is different from a granola bar. A cereal bar tends to have more of a cakey texture to the outer part with some kind of fruit filling inside. Don't know why they call that a cereal bar but that's what they look like at the grocery stores I shop. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.20.196.231 ( talk) 05:48, 25 May 2010 (UTC)
I fear that I may be becoming one of those people who complains about things without fixing them, but life intervenes and all, so I'll just state my complaints for now. Growing up in a very yuppie area, I was told that granola, at least as sold in stores, is actually horribly bad for you. More importantly granola bars are even worse. I recall I confirmed this latter fact by noting the presence of corn syrup in granola bars. Simply digging up the nutrition info on bars and cereals would be synth, but I'm kind of in a rush and can't even do that right now. So I'll just say that there's a much bigger issue here: the validity of the purported health benefits. I suspect that granola has been grahamcrackerized, and I'm sure there's been stuff written on it. And like I said, I don't have time for that right now, but I'm putting it on record. (The difference between bars and cereal, and the general lack of citations in the history section are different matters, but I restored all the cn tags because as it was it looked like dubious claims were sourced, and made a problematic article look like a good one.) — Quintucket ( talk) 06:02, 19 March 2012 (UTC)
Sanitarium attempted to have their trademark legally enforced, and were unsuccessful.

No, it is not. Nobody knows Granola e.g. in not English speaking European countries. The German wikipedia lists Granola only as a potato cultivar. -- Thorbjoern ( talk) 08:26, 7 June 2015 (UTC)
Hi, the Wikidata item ( d:Q119203) lists Granola as a trademark of Kraft Foods. That does not mix well (haha) with the German name for Granola, "Knuspermüsli" (crunchy muesli), which obviously is not a trademark. This article has a different story about the trademark. How can we fix this? Thanks, -- Gnom ( talk) 09:14, 11 November 2015 (UTC)

The article states definitively:
"...Granola bars are always individually packaged in a sealed pouch..." (emphasis is mine).
This is not entirely correct. They are also packaged two bars to a pouch. I'll update it to "...individually or two to a pouch..." if everyone agrees.
