seven-sundays-bircher-muesliWe love to try new foods. Some are great. Some don’t measure up and some become staples in our kitchen. See what you think.

Traditional muesli is a cereal dish based in raw rolled oats plus other ingredients including grains, fresh or dried fruit, seeds and nuts. It can be eaten hot steeped in hot milk or water for a few minutes, or added to yogurt, or soaked overnight in milk or yogurt which is a typical European breakfast. Muesli was developed in 1900 by a Swiss physician for his patients in the hospital. It is commonly found in Europe, New Zealand and Australia but less common in the US. Seven Sundays, a Minnesota based brand, is out to change that, as the fastest growing muesli brand in the US.

Seven Sundays has recently reformulated their original muesli recipe to a completely gluten-free product line by using gluten-free oats and swapping rye and barley for sorghum and buckwheat. All flavors are sweetened with only dried fruit and honey and there are no artificial flavors or preservatives. Seven Sundays Muesli is available in 12-ounce resealable bags or in Minne 2-ounce portable cups.

We tasted Seven Sundays 5 muesli flavors. Every flavor is sodium free.
