March 30, 2011 - PRLog -- New York, NY ― Purely Elizabeth (http://www.purelyelizabeth.com) today announced the launch of its all-natural, gluten-free, certified vegan Ancient Grain Granola Cereal. Available in three delicious flavors — original, cranberry pecan and pumpkin fig, the granola cereal expands Purely Elizabeth's already-established line of all-natural and organic baking mixes.

“I wanted to create a delicious, healthy, on-the-go option for our customers who need convenience but don’t want to sacrifice nutrition,” said Elizabeth Stein, founder of Purely Elizabeth. ”Our granola cereal uses similar good-for-you ingredients as our baking mixes, allowing our customers to eat better and stay healthy while being active.”

Baked by hand in small batches, Purely Elizabeth's Ancient Grain Granola Cereals are free of refined sugar and use all-natural and organic ingredients, certified gluten-free oats, and ancient seeds and grains that offer a unique texture, including chia seeds, puffed amaranth and quinoa flakes. These ancient grains have excellent health properties that add to the nutritional benefit of Purely Elizabeth's granola cereal:
•   Amaranth is an Aztec superfood containing large amounts of dietary fiber, vitamin C and calcium, as well as other vitamins and minerals. It is naturally higher in the amino acid lysine as well as protein than most other grains.
•   Quinoa was considered sacred by the Incas, who referred to it as “the mother grain” and believed it increased the stamina of their warriors. Quinoa is considered a complete protein, an excellent source of calcium and is a good source of manganese, magnesium, iron, B vitamins and phosphorus.
•   Chia seeds were considered an Aztec staple food providing excellent sources of omega-3s, fiber and antioxidants. Gram for gram, chia contains eight times more omega-3s than salmon and is also full of protein, vitamins and minerals.

“Our goal is to take everyday favorites and not only make them taste great, but to also up the nutritional profile by using the highest-quality, nutrient-rich ingredients," continued Stein.

Instead of the typical bad-for-you oils and sweeteners found in most granolas in the marketplace, all three flavors are made with organic coconut palm sugar, an unrefined, nutrient-rich, low-glycemic sweetener, and organic raw virgin coconut oil. Unlike other fats, unrefined coconut oil is high in medium-chain fatty acids that help to lose weight, lower cholesterol, improve diabetic conditions and reduce the risk of heart disease. Once consumed, the oil is broken down and used as immediate energy rather than being stored as fat or converted into triglycerides.
