The origins of granola may be found in the late 19th century, and its history is intriguing. It was created as a health food by Dr. James Caleb Jackson, a physician and the creator of the Jackson Sanitarium in New York. Later, John Harvey Kellogg, the creator of cornflakes, produced a related cereal called "granola" made from baked oats. He named it "granula" and it was manufactured from baked graham flour.
Granola gained popularity in the 1960s as a healthy breakfast alternative thanks to the health food movement. It was frequently linked to the counter-culture movement of the day and came to represent the hippie way of life.
Granola now comes in a wide range of varieties, from sugars and dried fruits to various kinds of grains and nuts. To have more control over the ingredients and sugar level, many individuals create their own homemade granola, while others purchase it already produced from supermarkets.
Granola continues to be a widely consumed and healthy breakfast item across the world, despite changes.
