Homemade Granola are the best as compared to shelf-bought ones, as we can fine-tune it to give us optimal health benefit, such as sugar contents; types of nuts and seeds of our preferences which gives us benefits than harm to our body (as each individual's health situation is different); not to mention it is much, much fresher as 'made to consume'; and many more.

Notes:
Healthy Granola makes good healthy snacks; I use it as toppings for my homemade salads; and also with milk for breakfast or any time of the day, whenever I am hungry.
