My favorite muesli

The annual rainy season continues in Japan. It is humid and gloomy. Since I felt like eating something light and cold, I had muesli for dinner today, though it may be supposed to eat for breakfast. My favorite muesli is Elthank Japon’s “Premium Bio Muesli” found in many supermarkets. Though it is more expensive than other kinds of muesli, all the ingredients are organic, and fruits and seeds compose 52% of the contents.

The ingredients are organic raisins, organic oat flakes, organic sunflower seeds, organic barley flakes, organic corn flakes, organic spelt flakes, organic pumpkin seeds, organic apricots, organic kamut puff, and organic apples. The muesli is produced in France and packaged in Japan.

The package bears the organic JAS (Japanese Agricultural Standard) mark.

According to the recommendation on the package, you can have it with milk, soymilk or yogurt, use it as topping for ice cream, or mix it into the dough of bread or cakes. I usually eat it with soymilk.

I like this muesli because of its high content of fruits and seeds. Though no salt or sugar is added, you can be satisfied with the sweetness of the dried fruits. I once gave it to my mother who should refrain from eating sweets, and she liked it. Premium Bio Muesli can be eaten not only for meals but also as a healthy snack. In addition to this “Premium Bio Muesli 52% Fruit & Seeds”, there are two similar products “Premium Bio Muesli 52% Fruit & Nuts” and “PREMIUM HIGH FIBER 52% FRUIT・NUTS & SEEDS.” I like the first one the best of all.

*Next day, I blended a banana and soymilk with a blender and ate it with muesli. I also sprinkled cinnamon. That made the muesli even better though it is delicious just with soymilk.
