Seitenbacher Organic Muesli Cashews Almonds Natural Cereal, 16 OunceUSDA Organic

This review is for Berry Temptation ONLYI've been eating Alpen Muesli no sugar for years now. I've tried a few other muesli type cereals that were supposed to be "healthy" but was just another overly sweet mediocre cereal. I came across this when Alpen was out of stock and it was on sale so I decided to try a 6 pack hoping it wouldn't be another overly sweet generic "healthy" cereal. IT DID NOT DISAPPOINT! I was surprised when I poured my first bowls at the amount of berries in it. I thought it was gonna have 1 or 2 berries but it was full of them. It's slightly sweet but not from added sugar which I don't mind at all and the grains seem much higher quality than Alpen. They're not as hard and don't take forever to soak in milk to soften them. The taste is great, I enjoy all the ingredients in this muesli. Now I feel cheated by Alpen Muesli which is slightly cheaper but it's 90% oats and 8% raisins. Even the raisins in this German muesli taste higher quality and better. The raisins are tangier and not as sweet as those in Alpen. This will be my go to cereal every morning now, I'm 100% converted.***Update - Decided to try Gluten free Strawberry and boy was that disappointingI thought the Strawberry flavored one would be similar to Berry Temptation that I had recently fallen in love with as my favorite cereal but it is not. The Strawberry flavored muesli has about 5 ounces of raisins in a bag of about 14 ounces. That's about 30% raisins. I don't mind raisins in small amounts but 5 ounces of raisins is just way too much overkill. After first trying Strawberry muesli, I felt it was very unpleasant and way too sweet. I actually took an entire bag, I ordered a box of 6, and emptied it into a dish and removed every raisin by hand as I did not want to waste food and throw it away. I weighed the bag after emptying out all the raisins and it was in fact 8.8 ounces with the bag.

However I'm so bummed out! A GREAT cereal with very low sugar (that in itself is so difficult to find). Now, it's no longer available. SO SAD! and just like another GREAT cereal called GUUD that was a cranberry, nuts and good stuff along with low sugar, also no longer available. I can only pray Amazon will have some reasonble priced similar cereals in the near future. We don't need to be feeding our kids and ourselves these 10% to 30% sugared cereals. The European's (German), and most Scandinavia and a few others know and make healthy GREAT tasting cereal you can eat with milk, yogurt or just with fruit.Seek out muesli versus granola coated with sugar.

The Almond/Cashew version is great! Very tasty, healthy, high quality. I'd buy it consistently and frequently from Amazon (so as to never run out) if it wasn't so darned expensive... It has more than doubled in price in the last year...For example, in April 2022 the Amazon price was $6.29 (cheaper than my local supermarket; great value on Amazon); in January 2023 the Amazon price was $9.49 (on a par with my local supermarket); in April, May, June 2023 the Amazon price was $14.31 (!) (more than my local supermarket, but I haven't checked there recently, and sometimes they don't label the price). Hard to imagine what's driving the cost... The price in Europe? The US $ vs. Euro? Other importation costs? Transportation? Distribution? Niche product on Amazon?Price review update -- June 30, 2023 -- currently $9.99 at the local supermarket (and this is in NYC, where nothing is cheap!) and $14.28 on Amazon! Come on Amazon, you can do better...Price review update -- October 8, 2023 -- last week the price had come down to $6.99 on Amazon !! I wondered if it was maybe old (i.e., expired) stock, but took a chance and ordered three packets on 10/4/23... no problem, arrived promptly with a November 2024 use-by date. Great value; well done Amazon, albeit for a very, very narrow time window... READ ON...I went to the Amazon site today (10/8/23) to order more, and... whoa!! it's now listed for $15.98 (up from $6.99 last week) !! Insane pricing and economics here - it's crazier than trying to track the Dow Jones or S & P. A 128% price increase in 4 days. Bonkers.March 2024 update... I'm running low on stock, time to check things out... Now down to a mere $15.12 on Amazon (!), but $9.98 at the local (generally overpriced; it's NYC) supermarket. Ugh Amazon... what gives? The supply chain crisis is over. Get with the program here - let's get back to $6.99 or thereabouts on Amazon.

I chose this muesli after sampling Amazon's selection, as well as by choices made at our local natural grocery. It's on the upper-range of cost. but the ingredients justify this price. Supplementing it with ones choice of nuts doesn't hurt: I add walnut pieces.

Seitenbacher America promptly sent a 6-pack of Muesli after I noted that I had only received 1 bag. The cereal is healthy and tastes great; it holds up the milk staying crunchy. Yes, I will order it again in a few months.

I typically eat my museli with 2% milk if it's for breakfast, or dry if its for a snack.So if you are buying this looking for a typical muesli, it probably isn't for you. However, it makes a great additive to a typical muesli, as it's almost all fruit/nuts/seeds. For me this is closer to a trail mix than a cereal, the ingredients are of a good quality, and the flavor is natural and authentic. I mixed mine with some plain old fashioned rolled oats, and with a relatively neutral muesli, and it worked well in both cases.I've tried more than 15 muselis over the last year and a half, and while I don't typically end ordering Seitenbacher's offerings twice, I'm content to have at least tried them once. They put out some of the more interesting varieties of this kind of cereal.

We liked this cereal.
