We source the oats used in our Müesli from Switzerland as often as we can. Unfortunately, the crop yield in Switzerland is insufficient – in 2021, around 2,000 tonnes of oats were grown in Switzerland, while almost 23,000 tonnes were imported. This is why we use oats from the EU, especially from Finland, which is known for its high-quality oats. Since oats have a short season, during which they need as much light as possible, Scandinavia is the perfect place to grow them Oats are a vital ingredient in our Müesli. Full of B vitamins, magnesium, zinc, calcium, iron and other key nutrients, they are an absolute superfood. Oats are also great for digestion thanks to their high soluble fibre content.
The pea, wheat and protein Crispies are mainly made from pea protein and are sourced from the south of France. The Crispies consist of 70% plant-based protein and therefore increase the nutritional value of our Müesli.
Similar to oats, the level of self-sufficiency for sunflower oil in Switzerland is very low, at only about 5–10%. For this reason, we not only source it from Switzerland, but also from other European countries, Africa and South America. We need sunflower oil to bake our Müesli. Its neutral taste and ideal behaviour at different temperatures makes it the perfect choice, and we only ever use as much of it as necessary.
We source our maple syrup from North America. Canada and the US are renowned for their maple syrup production. The syrup is a natural, plant-based sweetener that gives our Müesli its unique flavour.
Our rice flour comes from the EU, mainly from Italy. Top-quality grains are used for the production of our rice flour.
Oligofructose is dietary fibre that our body cannot process; it is therefore eliminated from the body undigested, in contrast to single and double sugars such as sucrose or fructose. This makes oligofructose an ideal ingredient in our Müesli varieties with little or no sugar. We also use oligofructose in these Müesli products because of its ability to form crunchy pieces, which is often difficult to achieve in products with no sugar. Our oligofructose is sourced from Belgium.
We source our sunflower seeds from Bulgaria, a country with plenty of expertise in this commodity. We work together with a supplier who produces seeds of the highest purity in a large, state-of-the-art peeling plant. Our Bulgarian partner is committed to sustainable, socially responsible and environmentally friendly business practices. Their sunflower seeds are harvested exclusively in the Black Sea region of Europe, which ensures short transport routes and, as a result, a small carbon footprint. Sunflower seeds not only make our Müesli taste delicious, they are also high in plant-based protein, plus an essential amount of magnesium and other vitamins.
The almond protein powder we use is made in the US from Californian almonds. Our supplier relies on a cooperation of various almond farmers who use a unique production process to obtain the best possible end product.
We source the almonds in our Müesli from California, renowned for its excellent nuts. Almonds from Spain, for example, contain a high proportion of bitter almonds, which means they are not ideal for making tasty Müesli. For this reason, we rely on high-quality almonds from the US.
We source our pumpkin seeds from the Austrian Weinviertel winegrowing region north of Vienna, near the Czech border. Our long-standing partner and supplier, a local family business, consistently ensures top quality with its stringent production standards. We are able to trace the raw material back to the farming family's field. Pumpkin seeds have a unique taste and are loaded with nutrients thanks to their high levels of zinc, magnesium, iron and selenium. We like to use them in our Müesli for this reason.
Whenever possible, we source our flaxseed from Belgium, an expert in these seeds. However, we also procure smaller quantities from Austria and Romania due to partial shortages. Flaxseed contains nutritious omega-3 fatty acids, can promote digestion and can support both digestive function and brain function thanks to their rich dietary fibre content.
Our sea salt, which we only use sparingly, comes from France and Italy.

Protein is a biological nutrient made up of a chain of organic compounds called amino acids, with a wide range of functions that are vital for life in human organisms. For instance, proteins provide structure for the muscles and heart, they are important for healthy nails and hair, and for transporting red blood cells and hormones around the body. Proteins are therefore also very important for muscle development, especially in athletes.
Amino acids are the smallest components of proteins. You can think of a protein as a chain of pearls tangled up in a ball, where the individual pearls are the amino acids. There are a total of 20 amino acids, which are responsible for the composition of proteins in living beings. Of these, nine are considered essential amino acids. Essential in this context means that they must be provided in our diets and cannot be produced by the body on its own. The nine essential amino acids are: histidine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, tryptophan and valine.
The protein in our High Protein low sugar crunchy Müesli comes from the grains, pulses, nuts and seeds it contains – specifically oats, wheat, pea, almonds, flaxseed, sunflower seeds and pumpkin seeds.
A bowl of High Protein low sugar with or without milk provides a balanced protein composition: all nine essential amino acids are included (see amino acid profile, figure 1 [with milk] and figure 2 [without milk]). Essential in this context means that the amino acids must be provided in our diets and cannot be produced by the body on its own. The amino acid lysine is present in the lowest amount in High Protein low sugar, which is typical for a cereal product. The best way to meet your daily protein needs is therefore to opt for lysine-rich foods in other meals, or add lysine-rich ingredients to your High Protein low sugar crunchy Müesli. Examples of lysine-rich plant-based foods include a wide range of nuts, seeds and pulses. You can find the perfect recipe here.
