'Homespun's' quinoa granola snack provides a flavorful and textural twist on similar healthy snacks.
For a long time, granola was based purely in different types of oats, which is why the Irish brand Homespun chose to take an alternative route in making its own. 'Quinoa Crunch' is based in the healthy grain and can be consumed as a breakfast cereal or just as a snack. The collection includes a pecan & cranberry flavor and a goji berry flavor. The product is high in vitamin E, fiber, iron and folic acid and is free of gluten and wheat.
This quinoa granola collection is healthy, flavorful and provides a unique alternative to the typical granola food products that are usually found on the market.
