The Story of Pink Perfection
Creating our Pink Lychee Granola was like painting with flavors, but we didn't do it alone. This extraordinary flavor was born from a collaboration with Michelin-starred chef Gert De Mangeleer, based on one of his innovative dishes that inspired us to think completely differently about breakfast.
Chef De Mangeleer's original creation showed us how lychee's delicate, floral sweetness could be elevated through unexpected combinations. Working together, we translated his culinary vision into granola form, capturing not just the taste of lychee but also the visual beauty that makes exotic fruits so captivating. The natural pink color comes from the freeze-dried raspberries, which also provide the perfect tart counterpoint to the lychee's sweetness.
The rose extract was the final piece of the puzzle – a technique we learned from the chef's approach to layering floral notes. Just a whisper of rose transforms the entire flavor profile, adding sophistication and depth that elevates this granola from simply "fruit flavored" to something truly special. Our chunky texture ensures that each piece delivers the full complexity of this unique combination.
Our handmade process allows us to carefully balance these delicate flavors, ensuring that no single element overwhelms the others. The result is granola that's as beautiful as it is delicious – and completely nut-free, making these Michelin-inspired exotic flavors accessible to everyone.
Why Exotic Flavors Matter
In a world of vanilla and chocolate, choosing lychee and rose is an act of culinary courage. These flavors represent adventure, curiosity, and the willingness to try something completely different. Starting your day with something this unique sets a tone of openness and creativity that can influence your entire day.
Lychee is packed with vitamin C and antioxidants, while rose has been used for centuries for its calming properties and beautiful fragrance. The freeze-dried raspberries provide additional antioxidants and that gorgeous pink color that makes every bowl Instagram-worthy.
