It's not so much if as much as whether raw granola will actually benefit you or not depends upon whether it's made with good ingredients—that is real nuts (not dried fruit), dried fruit (not syrup), raw seeds (not roasted) or cooked seeds (not heated oils). Even then granola made with high-quality ingredients is likely still processed food so try avoiding brands that use "natural" flavors or other sneaky additives because there's no such thing as natural flavoring." So yes - eat as much granola as you want because it's loaded with nuts but avoid all other unhealthy ingredients like added sugar , high-fructose corn syrup , honey etc . For example I am making myself an organic homemade granola bar that I plan on adding more healthy ingredients like coconut flakes , chia seeds etc . Check out my video here .
