Comment on Why do Kiwis love Museli? What is the history?

Bircher museli (Swiss) and museli (also called granola) are two different things.
The first is a mixture of yogurt, milk, apples, other fruits, dried fruit, seeds, nuts, and grains. It is typically prepared the day before and is mushy.
The second is a dry mixture of grains, seeds, nuts, and dried fruit. Kiwis eat the dry stuff instead of breakfast cereal over yogurt or milk and it is crunchy. It is generally eaten over breakfast cereal because it is considered healthier.

Thank you for explaining this difference. My brand of museli actually has a recipe for “Bircher museli” on the side, and calls for all of those ingredients you mention.
The “granola” that we have in the USA is much different than the dry museli though. It is always baked, and often sweet.
Does anyone know how Museli came to be popular in NZ? As far as I know it is not so popular in the UK so can’t have carried over in the colonial times…?
