The physician <b>Maximilian Bircher-Benner<\/b> who popularized it in the 1900s as a therapeutic food for his patients. The original recipe? Oat flakes soaked in water, mixed with milk, lemon, grated apple and a few hazelnuts. Simple, raw, nutritious.<\/p>\n<p>Visit <b>granola<\/b>, comes from the United States. This is Dr. <b>James Caleb Jackson<\/b> who developed a first version in the 1860s, called \u00abgranula\u00bb. John Harvey Kellogg took up and popularized the concept a few decades later.
