Toasted Cranberry Granola

We’re told that a lot of people find stuff through Instagram, so we have opened an account and posted. Here is our first organised post, shown using the hash tags (after learning what its all about).

Basically we have said “The best taste in a cranberry & nuts granola or muesli  and a winner of  the Great Taste Awards. It has no artificial sweeteners, and no artificial flavors, comes in a  new ziplock fresh reusable bag. Its full of low GI ingredients, so a healthy breakfast cereal that you can order online.”

The hashtag presentation of the Instagram listing means that anyone searching Instagram under those tags can find our image and link back to our Instagram account and from there to our website to get our information

Mulberry Tree have announced that their range of muesli and granola breakfast cereals will be packaged in a new re-seal-able and re-use-able bag.

The new high strength bag that is heat sealed will ensure maximum freshness and shelf life and the convenient zipper sealer enables consumers to re-seal in an instant ensuring their breakfast cereal remains fresh until totally consumed.

The bags are also flat bottom style which ensures they stand upon the grocery shelf and give retailers the best space saving and product exposure.

Opera Foods director Aniko Silk said that she particularly liked the matt black colour of the bags that will make the product stand out on the supermarket shelves.

Mulberry Tree breakfast cereal products will be shipping in the new style muesli bags from next month.

Berberis vulgaris (European barberry) is a shrub in the family Berberidaceae, native to central and southern Europe, northwest Africa and western Asia.

Medicinal use of barberry dates back more than 2,500 years. It has been used in Indian folk medicine to treat diarrhea, reduce fever, improve appetite, relieve upset stomach, and promote vigor, as well as a sense of well being. Today, it is widely used for medicinal purposes in Iran, including for biliary disorders (such as gallbladder disease) and heartburn.

Barberry is still often used for medicinal purposes because it contains the chemical berberine.

Berberine has been shown to inhibit the growth of bacteria in test tubes, and may help the immune system function better. The aqueous extract of barberry has beneficial effects on both the cardiovascular and neural system. As such, it may be useful in the treatment of hypertension, tachycardia (rapid heartbeat), and some neuronal disorders, such as epilepsy and convulsions. Recent studies suggest that barberry’s antioxidant properties, may help prevent certain types of cancer.
