About our calories . Learning why gRAWnola™ is so good.
Many of you have asked us about the number of calories in our grawnola.
We have few answers for you:
According to the USDA nutrition data, the technical answer to the calorie question is 170 calories per 1.8oz bar – but that number isn’t truly accurate.
The USDA answer is incomplete because no one has really clarified the difference between calories in foods that are highly processed or properly prepared™.
The complete answer requires some background. The calories in our grawnola are unusual because of the way we prepare our ingredients to make them ready for the body. Since the body is familiar with these nutrients as opposed to highly-processed food calories, weight questions, and calorie concerns need to be addressed differently. grawnola ingredients are body ready™ which means that are prepared in a way the body can digest, assimilate and fuel evolution. We only use pure and unprocessed ingredients which are enhanced through proper preparation so that all the nutrients – protein, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, minerals and enzymes – are optimized and available to you.
With that background, we are in a position to more fully answer the calorie question. All those smaller-sized properly-prepared grawnola components (essential fatty acids, amino acids and sugars) are not yet measured by the standard USDA nutrient evaluation. Also in the soaking of the seeds, a certain portion of the nutrients including fats as well as vitamins and minerals are dissolved and rinsed away. So the total calorie amount of our grawnola is reduced by 20 – 25%.
This is not reflected in the current USDA Nutrition Facts. The FDA is busy understanding the effects of highly processed foods on the body, and hasn’t had the time to discover what happens when foods are awakened, which is not the language of highly processed calories, fats, protein or carbohydrates.
We want you to consider that something very unique is happening – you can’t necessarily see it, but you can certainly feel it, when you eat our grawnola. This “new” experience of being nourished is ancient and the key to unlocking the calorie question. These calories not only feed us but give our bodies the energy that can even help us lose weight too. Let your body remember that properly prepared food™ fuels you in a way that highly-processed calories can’t.

I love your grawnola and the educational information on your site.
I have one comment about your packaging. The end of the bag needs to be sealed better. The bars keep slipping out of the cover.
Thanks for the healthy snack!
