Rather than being made with a base of oats or another type of cereal grain, Ideal Granola's grain-free granolas are only made with nuts, seeds, spices and healthy sweeteners. This particular 'Spiced Pumpkin' flavor is comprised of cashews, almonds, pepitas, honey and warming pumpkin pie spices that remind consumers of ever-popular pumpkin spice flavorings.
While it might seem like omitting grains from granola leaves fewer flavor options, Ideal Granola also makes a wide variety of grain-free granola flavors such as Crunchy Cocoa and Toasted Coconut. Even without oats, the granola products are still packed with loads of flavor and crunch.
In recent years, many health-conscious consumers have come to identify grain-free products as an easier way to avoid eating gluten or grains that have been heavily refined and processed.
