Versatile Grains with Crunch

Here are some versatile cereals that you can also treat as a healthy snack. And what a great surprise that they are made with some of the most interesting and ancient grains.
All natural ancient grains and intriguingly complex flavors combine to create  perfectly snackable Granola Crisps – honestly healthy, crunchy bite-sized flakes with all the whole grain goodness of granola.
Ancient grains date back thousands of years and grains like those used in Yogi Granola Crisps were the primary sustenance for early civilizations. Ancient grains have remained virtually untouched by modern plant science and are often a richer source of nutrients than modern grains.
Every cereal from Yogi contains an exclusive blend of five ancient whole grains:
Nutritious Oats contain soluble fiber that helps support a healthy heart.

With its mild nutty flavor, Barley is a natural source of antioxidants and helps reduce free radicals. Barley is also rich in complex carbohydrates and contains more total fiber than oats.

An ancient form of wheat, Spelt is higher in protein than modern wheat. It is also rich in complex carbohydrates, fiber, minerals, and vitamins B1 and B2.

Delicately-flavored Quinoa was referred to as the "mother of all grains" by the Incas of the Andean region of South America. Quinoa helps sustain energy and promote vitality.

Amaranth is one of the earliest known food plants. It is indigenous to the western hemisphere and was cultivated by the Aztecs. Amaranth contains vitamin E for a healthy circulatory system.

 

Available in Baked Cinnamon and Raisin, Mountain Blueberry Flax and Fresh Strawberry Crunch—all three are deliciously crunchy and satisfying.
