Who invented the granola bar remains unclear to this day. Two purported inventors claim the title for themselves. Nonetheless, in the 1970s, granola bars first appeared on the American market and quickly conquered backpacks, school bags, and work bags worldwide.
Nutrition reformer Maximilian Bircher-Benner demonstrated the nutrient richness of muesli with his Bircher muesli, which is a staple in any whole food diet. It contains only oats, nuts, and apples. This combination, with its high fiber content, keeps you full for longer, provides energy, and delivers good fats. The granola bar is essentially nothing more than the convenient form of the nutritious Bircher muesli. However, over time, it has been supplemented with many other ingredients.
Ingredients in a natural granola bar
To ensure that a granola bar suits your taste, it comes in many different variations: with nuts, dried fruits, chocolate, or various superfoods. Delicious, savory bars are enhanced with additional components such as seeds, vegetables, or spices. The foundation of every granola bar is oats, which turn it into a breakfast alternative and snack on the go.
There isn't a strict definition or recipe for granola bars. At Seeberger, we specialize in crafting natural bars that bring you the best of nuts, seeds, dried fruits, and optionally a touch of the finest chocolate.
Nuts, as well as dried fruits, provide essential nutrients such as proteins, carbohydrates, and fats, along with vitamins and minerals. The high content of antioxidants, capable of neutralizing free radicals, is also noteworthy. Snacking on nutrient-rich granola bars from Seeberger, bite by bite, gives you a truly satisfying feeling.
How is a granola bar made?
To save you from having to snack on your muesli from a bowl, all dry ingredients are finely chopped and compacted into a mass with the use of liquid sweetness, kneading them well together. Afterwards, a roller shapes them into handy bars, which are then cut and packed into your lunchbox. The best part: Our delicious granola bars are baked gently and fresh from the oven for you.
