Salad Bar

摘要

Food bars are a relatively recent phenomenon. Whether the texture is granola or pastry and the goal is on-the-go meal replacement or energy boost, the format is powerful and is here to stay. Their recent history (last 35 years or so) started with a simple cereal bar - Nature Valley. It was a compressed bar with cereal grains, created during the "crunchy granola" age of the late 1960s/early '70s. But not everyone wanted to bite into something that shattered the jaw, so Quaker Oats came up with a softer bar that still held the oats and granola, and the Chewy Granola Bar debuted in the mid-1970s.
