Although often affiliated with the hippie health food movement of the 1960s, granola—originally made from a baked and crumbled mixture of graham flour and whole grains—was first created by Dr. John Harvey Kellogg in the 1870s. The food was first called granula, but was changed to ‘granola’ after Kellogg was sued by Dr. James Caleb Jackson, who had already created a graham flour mixture called granula. In the granola we know today, to diversify the nutritional value and flavour of granola, various seeds, fruits, nuts, syrups, puffed grains, and spices are commonly added.
