Advantages: Nice crunchy texture, plenty of fruits and nuts

Disadvantages: More expensive than other brands

Jordans is a company that have been making wholegrain cereals since the 1970's but have actually been in the milling business for over 150 years. They make a wide variety of cereals and cereal bars. I have been eating Jordans muesli for a while and recently after they relaunched their muesli with new packaging have been trying out a few of their different varieties. The most recent one to make it into my shopping basket was the fruity fibre muesli.

The muesli comes in a 650g box and costs around £2.68.

This muesli contains both raw and toasted wholegrains, apricots, apples, dates, flame raisins, brazil nuts and pumpkin seeds.

Nutritionally a 50g serving of muesli served with 100ml of semi-skimmed milk will contain -

219 calories
7.3g protein
36.6g carbohydrate (of which 17g are sugars)
4.9g fat (of which 2.1g are saturates, 1.4g mono-unsaturates and 1g polyunsaturates)
4.3g fibre

The muesli comes in a cardboard box which has a bag inside containing the muesli. You have to shake the bag and box before pouring it out to ensure an even distribution of the fruit and nuts. Although this is easy the first time once you have opened the bag you need to be careful it doesn't go everywhere when you shake it.

The first thing I noticed about this muesli when I started eating it was the crunch. The wholegrain cereals made up of barley, oat and toasted rye flakes and the toasted wheat flakes give a really good crunch which is quite different to the Jordans Natural Muesli that I normally eat. It was quite nice having this different texture. I also liked the addition of the apricots, apples and the pumpkin seeds. It just gives a muesli with added flavour from all the different variety of fruit, nuts and seeds.

I really liked this muesli it tastes great, has a great texture and is packed with fruit, nuts and seeds. Comparing it to my usual Jordans Natural Muesli it does contain slightly more calories and sugars but we are talking about minimal amounts. Although it is more expensive than shop brand muesli you are getting more for your money. I would quite happily buy this one again because it is nice having a little bit more fruit than the natural muesli contains.

Summary: A nice muesli packed with fruits, nuts and seeds.
