OUR HISTORY
James Caleb Jackson (USA) creates a style of cereal for breakfast called “Granula”.
Inspired in the healthy lifestyle that the Adventist Church promotes, and exploring breakfast options based on grains and cereals, John Kellogg and his brother W. H. Kellogg create the “Cornflakes”, and make their own cereal mix, which they call “Granola”. These recipes were implemented in the Battle Creek Sanatorium (USA).
“Hygienic coffee” of cereals, substitute of coffee, mate, and tea, prepared in the branch of the “Food Company of the Battle Creek Sanatorium”, located in Buenos Aires. Olaf Oppergard, Adventist nurse and masseur, was the distributor.

In Melbourne, The Sanitarium Health and Wellbeing Company is founded, with the same focus on a healthy diet promoted by the Adventist Church from Battle Creek in Michigan.
