Delicious & Nutritious


Organic

Alara is committed to producing high-quality organic mueslis that are certified as organic by the Soil Association. Organic means that the food has been grown and produced without the use of artificial or chemical fertilisers or pesticides. Instead, farmers use crop rotation to make sure that the soil stays healthy – for example, they might keep cattle on a field one year to make the soil more fertile and then grow crops on that field the next year.

There are lots of reasons to choose organic food. Not only does it taste better than non-organic food, but it’s also better for your health because organic foods generally contain higher levels of vitamins and minerals. Organic food is also better for the environment because fewer chemicals are used, less carbon dioxide (a major greenhouse gas) is emitted, and the natural habitats of local wildlife are preserved.

 

Gluten-Free

People suffering from Coeliac disease cannot eat any products containing gluten, which is found in wheat, barley and rye. There is no cure so the only way to help control the associated symptoms of this illness is following a gluten-free diet. This significantly restricts the number of food products they can eat as even if a product does not contain any of these three cereals as ingredients, the final product could be contaminated during the manufacturing process.

Luckily there has been an increase in the range of available gluten-free foods in the past few years and people intolerant to gluten can eat a varied gluten-free diet. Here at Alara we acknowledge the difficulties people with Coealic disease might suffer and this is the reason we have a wide range of free from mueslis and granolas suitable for a gluten-free diet.

 

Superfoods

Our mueslis and granolas are all about superfoods. Wholegrain oats are the perfect source of complex carbohydrates to release energy slowly and keep your body fuel all day long. They are also a good source of soluble fibre and beta-glucan, which has been shown to lower cholesterol.

We have combined them with some of the best food superheroes available in the market to make sure all our products are nutritional powerhouses (aside from delicious). We have hundreds of different ingredients but we usually add seeds, nuts and dried foods together with other more exotic foods like cocoa nibs or lucuma powder. Each of them has its own health properties and benefits your body in a complementary way.

To discover the health benefits of our recipes, you just need to check the info at the back of each pack.

 

Only Best Quality Natural Ingredients

Our products are 100% natural ingredients. No artificial ingredients, colours, flavours or preservatives are added during the manufacturing process. The same applies to GMO ingredients. We always buy the best quality ingredients available in the market, which also go through strict quality control checks before being used in production. We also audit our suppliers to make sure their quality standards are as high as ours.

By eating Alara you can rest assured your body gets the nutrients it needs from only natural sources.

 

No Added Sugar

Eating too much sugar is one of the main causes of obesity and many other chronic diseases. Added sugars are not only part of sweets, candies or desserts, they might be also hidden in other common foods like bread, cereals and drinks. This means that many people could be putting their health at risk without being fully aware of it as their sugar intake might be higher than the recommended daily amount.

We want everyone to enjoy a tasty yet healthy breakfast and this is the reason none of our mueslis contains any added sugars. We use dried fruits to add sweetness in a natural and healthy way.

Unfortunately, sugar is needed to produce granolas and get the crunchy clusters that make them different from mueslis. Our granolas are the only recipes that contain sugar but we just use coconut blossom nectar. Coconut blossom nectar is a no refined sugar which comes from the sap of the flowers from the coconut tree. It is minimally processed so it retains a lot of its natural properties.
