Loaded with iron, vitamin C, potassium and antioxidants, it boasts a low glycemic load (blood sugar impact) with a nutrient punch, coupled with a rich sweet flavor.
Most store-bought granolas are loaded with refined sugars and preservatives, sitting on shelves for months.
Our granola is different—made fresh with organic and locally sourced, non-GMO ingredients from regenerative farms, free from hidden sugars and artificial additives.

Townsend Sorghum Mill in Jeffersonville, KY.
"Townsend’s Sorghum has been produced on the same farm in Jeffersonville, Kentucky since the late 1800s. Townsend’s Sorghum is currently being produced by the fifth generation family patriarch Danny Townsend. Danny took the reins of the family business in the mid-1980s. Since that time, Townsend’s Sorghum has been instrumental in sorghum’s revival."

"In 2014, with the passage of the Farm Bill re-legitimizing industrial hemp production, our Founder Chad Rosen moved to Kentucky, once America’s hemp heartland. He began work to grow the supply chain for hemp seed in the U.S. and Victory Hemp Foods was born in 2016."
J.Q. Dickinson Appalachian Mercantile in Malden, WV.
“Sourced from an ancient, untouched sea called the Iapetus Ocean – predating the Atlantic Ocean, yet trapped below the Appalachian mountains — our salt is free of contaminants and heavy metals that may be found in other oceans. Gleaned from the earth by an underground brine aquifer, the salt is then processed naturally using the power of the sun and gentle mountain breezes.”

* www.AmericanSorghum.comAs a growing family in Kentucky, we experienced this local sweet tradition firsthand. We couldn't believe it was almost lost to our history, and that one of our local farmers was instrumental in bringing sweet sorghum back from the brink of extinction. We knew that if everyone could enjoy the health benefits and sweet flavor, they’d be hooked too.
As parents, we get how hard it can be to figure out healthy breakfasts or snacks for your family that they’ll actually eat. The most-loved choices are usually loaded with sugars!
That’s why we believe that Sweetgrass Granola is the low-glycemic load secret to beating the hangry feeling while giving you and your family an extra dose of whole-food nourishment that everyone can love.
Even though we’ve been making Sweetgrass Granola for over a decade, we’re just getting started. We’re the only granola company using sorghum as a sweetener. Proud to source from Kentucky small scale farms. We raise our spoons to their roles in our health.
While refined sugar is derived from a natural source, its production involves a process that strips away all additional components from sugarcane or sugarbeet, ultimately leaving only the isolated sugar. Commonly found in solid form, table sugar consists of equal portions of glucose and fructose. In contrast, sorghum emerges as a superior sweetener due to its unprocessed nature. Derived from the sweet sorghum plant, sorghum syrup retains its natural goodness, offering a more wholesome alternative. Unlike refined sugar, sorghum maintains a balance of nutrients and doesn't undergo the same intense processing, making it a healthier choice for those seeking a natural and less refined sweetening option.
Sorghum syrup generally has a lower glycemic impact compared to refined sugar. The glycemic index (GI) measures how quickly a carbohydrate-containing food raises blood glucose levels. Foods with a lower GI release glucose more slowly into the bloodstream, providing a more sustained and gradual energy release. Sorghum syrup, being a complex carbohydrate, has a lower glycemic index than refined sugar, which consists mainly of sucrose. The natural composition of sorghum includes various nutrients and fibers that can slow down the absorption of sugars, leading to a more gradual increase in blood sugar levels. Choosing sweeteners with a lower glycemic impact is often recommended for those looking to manage blood sugar levels or follow a low-glycemic diet. However, individual responses to different sweeteners may vary, and it's advisable to consult with a healthcare professional or nutritionist for personalized advice based on specific health considerations.

Sweetgrass Granola presents a better option for individuals managing diabetes due to several key factors:
1. Lower Glycemic Impact: Sweetgrass Granola is crafted with ingredients that have a lower glycemic index, meaning it has a more gradual impact on blood sugar levels. This can help individuals with diabetes manage their blood glucose more effectively.
2. Natural Sweeteners: Unlike granolas that rely on refined sugars, Sweetgrass Granola uses natural sweeteners, such as Appalachian grown sorghum syrup, honey and maple syrup. These alternatives provide sweetness without causing rapid spikes in blood sugar levels.
