Every batch is sweetened with an Ohio pure maple syrup and organic agave nectar. They don’t use any canola oil like most granolas. They use an extra virgin olive oil so that you receive all the nutrients without the GMO’s. "When I was formulating my recipes, I visited this family run farm and helped harvest the maple syrup. I realized that this was what was going to make Whirlybird so great…the Ohio pure maple syrup. The seed of the sugar maple tree, where we get our maple syrup, is called the whirlybird. Most of us know them as “helicopters”." -Christy White (Owner of Whirlybird Granola)
