How it differs from similar foods
Compared to a granola bar, a fruit and grain bar often emphasizes the dried fruit component more prominently, offering a softer, chewier texture. The grain base might be less dense, allowing the berry flavors to come through more distinctly. It generally aims for a less crumbly experience than some traditional granola bars.

How to keep the rest
