What You Should Know

You'd find this in the organic/health cereal aisle or in a kitchen where someone reaches for a straightforward, nutritious breakfast—perfect for spooning into a bowl with milk or sprinkling over yogurt. The vibe is wholesome and homey rather than indulgent, recalling simple, grain-forward breakfasts. The short ingredient list (sprouted grains, seeds, water, salt, minimal natural flavoring) and likely light processing (sprouting, milling, drying/baking) give a crunchy whole-grain texture and point to a processed but not ultra‑industrial product.

Ultra-Processing Assessment

NOVA Score:3 / 4

Processed Food

Why this score?

Ingredients are mostly whole sprouted grains and seeds with water, sea salt and minimal natural extracts; production involves processing steps (sprouting, milling, forming/drying) but lacks industrial additives, emulsifiers or extensive reformulation typical of ultra‑processed foods, so it fits NOVA group 3 (processed).
