Granola
Granola is a type of breakfast cereal or snack food that typically consists of rolled oats, nuts, honey or other sweeteners, and various dried fruits.
Its origins can be traced back to the 19th century United States and a physician named Dr. James Caleb Jackson, who developed it as a health food called granula. John Harvey Kellogg was the one who popularized it (and his brother Will Keith changed the name to granola) in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and it has since became a healthy and nutritious staple in many households across the world.

There is no one universal recipe, so granola can also include other ingredients like seeds, coconut flakes, chocolate chips, or spices, depending on personal preferences or specific recipes. It is often baked until it becomes crispy and golden brown, with a palpable nutty flavor.
It is often used as a topping for yogurt, milk, or fruit, but can be eaten on its own as a snack. Some people also use granola in baking or incorporate it into energy bars or trail mixes. Granola is generally considered a healthy food option because it is a good source of fiber, protein, and various nutrients.
However, it's important to be mindful of portion sizes and the ingredients used, as some store-bought granolas may contain added sugars or unhealthy fats.
