granola

/grəˈnoʊlə/

Other forms: granolas

Granola is a type of cereal made of rolled oats, nuts, and dried fruits. Many people eat granola with yogurt. Hippies love it.

We have the great cereal man W.K.Kellog to thank for the word granola, probably from the word grain. The word was originally coined as a trademark (now lapsed) in the 19th century. Although granola is just a delicious food, it’s associated with liberal planet-loving tree huggers, and not always in a good way. If you’re wearing socks with sandals and have a few leaves in your long, uncombed hair, people might tell you you’re "looking granola." Because you are.
