Granola

Also called: toasted muesli

Baked with oil and honey, so it is more grounding than raw muesli — best with warm milk.

How Granola affects your doshas

In Ayurveda a food's effect depends on your constitution. This is the lens the app uses to suggest what to favour and ease off.

Kapha Use sparingly Can raise Kapha — go easy when Kapha runs high.

Taste: Sweet  ·  Potency: Neutral  ·  Post-digestive: Sweet  ·  Qualities: Heavy, Dry

When to go easy

Toasted, crunchy and low-moisture, so it can unsettle Vata; oats, nuts and sweetener still add to Kapha.
