Depending on which blend of Kimberley’s Own All Natural Granola you decide to enjoy, here are some of the benefits of our ingredients:

Oats

Seeing this is the main ingredient throughout all of my blends, I thought it would be best to start here.

Some of the benefits of oats are but are not limited to are:

• High in soluble and insoluble fiber. The beta-glucans found in soluble fiber helps reduce the LDL (bad) cholesterol.
• Since oats scores low on the glycemic index, it assists in stabilizing your blood sugar and keeps you feeling satiated for a longer period of time.
• High concentration of protein.
• High concentrations of phyto-chemicals which are related to decreased risk of certain cancers.
• Increased bowel function due to the high fiber content.
• Weight Control – due to the low glycemic score and feeling of being satiated for longer periods of time, which may assist with weight loss.
• Good source of essential fatty acids
• Good source of vitamin E, thiamin, folic acid, biotin, pantothenic acid. Minerals include: zinc, selenium, copper, iron, manganese and magnesium.

Chia

• An ancient super food cultivated by the Aztecs. It is also known as the ‘running food’ because of its densely packed nutrient qualities. It was used by ancient messengers who ran between villages by consuming just a handful of the tiny seeds.
• 30% of the oils in Chia are Omega 3 and 40% are Omega 6. Thus providing a great balance of the efa’s (essential fatty acids) you need in your diet.
• It’s also high in calcium, magnesium, protein, iron and fiber. It holds fourteen times its weight in water, so it helps with the feeling of being full and cleansing the bowels for more effective digestion.
• They are available in black or white in colour and have the same benefits.
