Muesli

Grain

Muesli is a cold breakfast cereal of raw rolled oats blended with dried fruit, nuts and seeds, invented around 1900 by the Swiss physician Maximilian Bircher-Benner as a health food for his Zürich sanatorium. Unlike granola, classic muesli is left raw — unbaked and usually unsweetened — so it carries no added oil and little or no added sugar, relying instead on the natural sweetness of dried apple, raisins and berries. Dry and toothsome straight from the bag, it is traditionally eaten soaked overnight in milk, yoghurt or juice, which softens the oats into a creamy, spoonable porridge. Mild, nutty and gently sweet, it tastes of dry cereal, dried fruit and toasted nut.

⚠ Heads up
  • Most muesli contains tree nuts and often wheat, barley or rye flakes, so it carries nut and gluten allergens; coeliacs need a version made with certified gluten-free grains.
  • Dried fruit makes muesli fairly high in total sugars, and many sweetened or chocolate mixes add sugar, so check the label.
  • Some mixes also contain milk powder (not vegan).
