Many healthy eating enthusiasts prefer to make their own muesli for breakfast. A mixture consisting of cereals, dried fruits, nuts, bran, seeds, sprouts and other ingredients is considered very beneficial for the body.
Muesli can be raw or baked. Raw muesli consists of thermally unprocessed products. At the same time, the muesli baked during the production process is mixed and baked with juice, honey, and yogurt. They can have a crumbly consistency or come in pressed form. “Roots” bars are exactly those same pressed and baked muesli. Meanwhile, regardless of the form of release, their benefits do not become less.
History of Roots bars
The history of “Roots” bars began back in 1900 with the preparation of a tasty and healthy muesli mixture by a Swiss doctor, which he offered to taste to the patients of his clinic. They became especially popular in the 60s of the same century, and 10 years later the world’s first candy bar based on a mixture of cereals, nuts and dried fruits was made in America.
It was these events that served as the impetus for the creation of the Corny bar. This happened in 1984 at a confectionery factory in the city of Bad Schwartau (Germany), where delicious and healthy “Roots” bars, known throughout the world, have been produced for many years. To this day, all products of the brand undergo strict quality control to ensure compliance with high European requirements.
