Nature's Hand Granola {Giveaway}

We try to eat as simply as possible, not many processed foods loaded with preservatives and ingredients you can't pronounce. Just yesterday, I happened to catch a little bit of the Oprah show and the topic was about what we eat and the guest was Michael Pollan (The Omnivore's Dilemma). It was both frightening and eye-opening, thinking of where our food really comes from.

Fortunately there are a lot of companies out there who are dedicated to creating foods that use simple, "real" ingredients. Though I've been lazy about making my own granola, I was sent some samples of Nature's Hand Granola to try out. And when I say samples, I was shocked that they sent 6 huge 16oz. bags for us to sample.
At $4.99 a bag, Nature's Hand Granola is not a budget breaker, and it's as close to homemade as I've tasted. I was happily surprised to learn that they've been making and selling granola since 1971.

Out of the 6 types we were sent (Original Vanilla Almond, Wild Blueberry, Cinnamon Apple, Raisin Hazelnut, Maple Pecan and Cranberry Apricot).
I'd say our favorites were the Cinnamon Apple, which had nice dried apple slices in it, and the Wild Blueberry. I would have like to have tried the Coconut Cashew, since I love the combo of those flavors, but I'll just have to order some of that in the future. The flavors of all the varieties were very good, not too sweet, yet satisfying, but those three really stood out.
I will definitely be buying more of Nature's Hand Granola, probably online, since they're mostly sold in the upper Mid-West at the moment.

Nature's Hand Granola wants one lucky K&K reader to try their scrumptious granola, so they're kindly offering...

A Sample Package of Granola!

(I'm guessing it will be similar to what I reviewed)
