"Making healthy, wholesome, and wonderful tasting granola is my passion. My small business, Just Right Granola, was the outcome of a conversation with my neighbor Ruthie. Looking for a way to combine our talents and passions we discovered that using an old family recipe as a base, we could build an updated and healthier, all-natural granola" - says Pat Meredith, the owner of Just Right Granola company.

"It has been an ever-evolving process over the last few years learning what customers wanted and balancing it with our own creativity. The bottom line is that we want to make a great granola that you can trust to be healthy, wholesome and delicious! To do so we listen to our customers needs and maintained the highest quality and standard."

As you probably know, granola is a delicious food we love that we can eat as a quick and healthy breakfast or as an afternoon snack. But, do you know all the health benefits granola brings to your diet and why?

Why is granola healthy?

Just Right Granola starts with gluten free oats, and flax seeds in lieu of wheat germ, all natural honey, pecan and coconut oil in lieu of canola oil.

Begin your day with a fiber boost... choose Just Right Granola ($2,50- $8) for breakfast. This is a super crunchy, nutritious and super delicious choice. Made from premium rolled oats, pecans, sea salt and wheat germ, along with other natural ingredients that will bring you a healthy, delicious and most satisfying, yummy granola experience.

Health benefit form rolled oats

The big benefit from premium rolled oats is primarily that they are low in fats and have a high proportion of soluble fiber. The fiber in oats contains beta glucans, a compound that works in the digestive system to help reduce the absorption of cholesterol into your bloodstream and slow down the rate at which blood sugar rises in your body.

While the original granola is Just Right Granola’s staple product, the most popular flavors are Apricot Pecan and Honey Pecan with Coconut Oil. Sweetened with a high quality local and delicious honey, this variety also has sunflower and pumpkin seeds. Honey from the Walla Walla Valley is unparalleled.

Health benefits of Honey

Honey has been used as a natural sweetener for thousands of years. According to several studies honey can have antiseptic and antibacterial benefits. It is high in the sugars dextrose (fructose) and glucose, which are absorbed by the body in ways that help keep blood sugar levels steady. These natural sugars provide a great source of energy in an active lifestyle.

Health benefits of Pecan

Pecans are called “heart-healthy nuts” as they have cholesterol-lowering properties. According Dr. R. Eitenmiller from University of Georgia, the plant sterols in pecans have cholesterol-lowering characteristics. Additionally, you will find pecan nuts contain 19+ vitamins and minerals. Vitamins from the B group, vitamin A, vitamin E, calcium, potassium, folic acid, phosphorus, zinc and magnesium are also present in pecans. So eat more Pecans!

Another popular flavor of Just Right Granola is Walnut Spiced Apple Cider, which goes great when added on top of homemade ice cream or warm applesauce. Not to mention, crisps and cobblers that are made even more delicious when Just Right Granola is added.

The Almond Cinnamon is great during the holidays or for chocolate lovers, and those with nut allergies, we even have a Sunflower Cocoa made with certified organic cocoa. For those customers watching their glycemic index we offer our Agave Pecan which uses no sugar, no honey but is loaded with sunflower and pumpkin seeds for a delicious granola experience. You can find many of these options in both regular and gluten free.

Health benefits of Almonds                                                                              

Almond nuts are rich in dietary fiber, vitamins and minerals and packed with numerous health promoting phytochemicals. These nuts are also composed of well-balanced food principles that are essential for optimum health and wellness.

At the end of the day Just Right Granola has a mission and that is to bring great tasting, crunchy and delicious granola to their customers. This they accomplish by offering a wide selection of flavors in many different varieties that satisfy the needs of those who wish to experience a truly exceptional product.
