Granola bars
Sweet and nutty, with texture ranging from soft and chewy to firm and crunchy depending on the brand and ingredients.
Lens analyzedGranola bars are oats, nuts, seeds, and sweeteners pressed and baked into a solid bar shape, meant as a portable snack. They range from soft and chewy to hard and crunchy depending on how they're made.
Where it comes from
Granola bars developed as a portable, packaged version of loose granola, growing popular in North America through the 1970s as a grab-and-go snack marketed for its whole-grain ingredients.
Buying it
Check the ingredient list for added sugar and any allergens like nuts or soy, since granola bars range widely from simple oat-based bars to more candy-like, chocolate-coated versions.
Storing it
Store granola bars in their individual wrappers in the pantry, where they keep for weeks to months per the package date.
Keeps about 6 months in the pantry.
