GRANOLA, THREE GRAIN AND MORE GOOD STUFF GRANOLA
Mustard Seed Market & Cafe Natural Foods Cookbook
One of the world's oldest cereal crops, barley is most commonly available hulled or pearled. Hulled barley (also called whole grain) has had only the outer husk removed.
Also called old-fashioned oats, rolled oats are oat groats that have been steamed and flattened. Similar in style to rolled oats, flaked rye is perfect for breakfast cereals.
The heart of the wheat berry, wheat germ becomes rancid quickly and is best stored refrigerated or frozen.
Makes about 6 cups.

• 2 cups rolled oats
• 1 cup hulled barley
• 1 cup flaked rye or rye berries

• 1/2 cup dry milk powder
• 1 tbsp. ground cinnamon
• 2/3 cup honey
