The Happy Pear adds museli to their product range
The Happy Pear has added two new products to its expanding range; May’s Original and Elsie’s Fruit & Nut Super Muselis. Both products are made with a blend of crunchy sprouted flakes, oats and spelt flakes. Elsie’s Fruit & Nut has mixed dried fruits added for sweetness and texture. What sets The Happy Pear Super Mueslis apart from others on the market is that it’s made with crunchy ‘sprouted’ or ‘activated’ cereal flakes. This is a process where the natural grain is germinated or ‘activated’, which awakens the nutrition inside the grain, making it sweeter, and in the process, easier to digest, allowing the nutrients to be more easily absorbed by the body. The muselis have used a tasty mix of buckwheat flakes, brown lentil flakes and red quinoa flakes to give a great crunch.
