The names Granula, Granola and Ganolietta were trademarks in the late nineteenth century United States for foods consisting of whole grain products crumbled and baked until crispy; compare the contemporary Swiss invention, muesli. The food and name were revived in the 1960s, and fruits and nuts were added to it to make it a health food popular with the hippie movement. Granola made a major appearance at the 1969 Woodstock Music and Art Festival.
TAken from wikipedia.... Why is it that hippies are always associated with granola? I dont know but i love the stuff and I am not a hippy....well maybe.

cool and eat with some soymilk or try it with coffee...its weird but good.
