CHI Bite: Bar Exam

May 20, 2008 Bar Exam If half of the food 10,000 Chicago Biters eat is locally produced, in a year we'll avoid the amount of CO2 produced by almost 1.5 million cars - six times the number that travel Lake Shore Drive each day. The original “granula,” invented in 1863, was made from whole grain flour and resembled Grape-Nuts; Dr. John Kellogg developed a similar recipe and named it “granola” to avoid copyright problems. The Bite Jury still out on granola for you? Well, personally we’ve reached a unanimous verdict on Eat Green Food’s local, organic, sustainable, and seasonal granola bars. It’s all there in fine print: toasty oats from Iowa grain millers, fruit and honey from Midwest orchards, plus organic staples such as peanut butter, brown sugar, and artisan Chocovic Chocolate, each bar handmade and wrapped in biodegradable cellophane. For spring, snatch up EGF’s rhubarb-pistachio flavor, or delay the trial for summer’s Concord grape and PB bar. Buttery, sweet-n-salty, chewy – these granola bars rule, especially the PB and chocolate (we’re talking dessert jurisdiction here). In the matter of EGF v. so-called “natural” bars? No contest. Wanna Try? Eat Green Foods granola bars; available at Intelligentsia, Goddess and Grocer, New Leaf Grocery, and select farmers markets. One bar, $3. LIKE THIS BITE?
