National Granola Bar Day

National Granola Bar Day is celebrated every year on January 21 to recognize this wholesome bar of nutrition and energy that has made our breakfast table and rescued us on a hectic workday. Did you know that granola has been around for over 150 years, and the name was a trademark? Granola is a globally eaten food with many variations, both in the bar and the loose forms. It consists of whole grains, nuts, and honey, brown sugar, or syrup. This combination is baked until crisp, toasted, and golden brown. Other ingredients sometimes used in making granola include raisins, dates, chocolate, and butter.
