What You Should Know

You'd spot this on the natural/organic cereal shelf or in the breakfast aisle of a health-focused grocery, often chosen for quick weekday breakfasts or a simple weekend brunch. It gives a wholesome, back-to-basics vibe — nutty, lightly toasted and comforting rather than indulgent. The short ingredient list (sprouted grains, almonds, sea salt, rosemary) and gentle processes like sprouting and malting suggest a crunchy, toasted texture from minimal industrial reformulation, more akin to processed whole foods than ultra‑processed products.

Ultra-Processing Assessment

NOVA Score:3 / 4

Processed Food

Why this score?

Made from whole sprouted grains, almonds, water, salt and a natural extract with no industrial additives or emulsifiers; however it is a packaged, ready-to-eat cereal that has undergone processes (sprouting, malting, toasting) and combination of ingredients, fitting NOVA group 3 (processed) rather than ultra‑processed.
