Eat Natural low-sugar granola rated best in supermarket roundup

In a supermarket granola review, Eat Natural low-sugar granola was named best overall, priced at £4.10 for 450g at Sainsbury’s and Ocado and containing 4.4% sugar. Tesco Finest super nutty granola was picked as the best bargain at £3 for 500g. The reviewer said the best granolas come in golden clusters, are sweet but not too sweet (under 10% is low, over 15% high), have a touch of salt and include a range of whole grains, dried fruit, nuts and seeds; toasted coconut was highlighted as a welcome addition.

The overall quality of the test group was described as pretty high, with options ranging from nutty bargains to indulgent, sugar-packed treats and some low-sugar wholefood choices. Details given for products include sugar content, ingredients and prices. Eat Natural was noted for medium-roast oat clusters with toasted coconut, sunflower seeds, almonds and pumpkin seeds, flavoured with buckwheat and sweetened with coconut blossom nectar and prebiotic chicory root fibre.

Tesco Finest was reported as dark roasted oats with spelt, barley and 15% nuts, 12% sugar and added flavouring. Other highlights included Scrumshus (31.6% sugar, honey and maple syrup), Bio&Me (no added sugars, 9.7% overall), Nibs Etc (11% sugar, sweetened with upcycled British apple pulp) and Fuel10K (17.5% sugar, contains glucose and wheat protein, one-star rating).
