Description

Muesli is a mixture of cereals, nuts, seeds, and dehydrated fruits, very popular as an ingredient for healthy breakfasts and easy-to-prepare recipes. Originally created in Switzerland in the early 20th century by physician Maximilian Bircher-Brenner, muesli was designed to be a nutritious and energetic food, ideal for starting the day with vitality.

This ingredient is characterized by its high content of fiber, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, thanks to the combination of oats or whole wheat, nuts, almonds, raisins, and other fruits such as dehydrated apple or cranberries. Furthermore, it is low in added sugars and saturated fats, making it a healthy choice for balanced diets.

In different Latin American countries, muesli may have various names or be associated with similar terms, such as "granola" (although granola is usually sweetened and baked, while muesli is consumed raw or soaked), "whole grain cereal", or simply "cereal mix". Whatever the name, its use in recipes ranges from yogurt and smoothie mixes to incorporating it into baked goods or salads, adding texture and outstanding nutritional value.
