Lärabar
Lärabar is a brand of energy bar produced by General Mills. The bars consist of fruits and nuts and are made without genetically modified ingredients.
History
Lärabar was created by Denver native Lara Merriken, who was looking to make a "very healthy product that tasted delicious". According to the General Mills website, Merriken's inspiration for the snack occurred during a hiking trip in 2000 through the Rocky Mountains of Colorado. As she was running down the mountain, she was inspired to create a delicious food bar that was made out of only fruits, nuts and spices.
The bars were first introduced for public sale in the United States on April 14, 2003. The original Lärabar flavors were Cherry Pie, Apple Pie, Cashew Cookie, Banana Cookie, and Chocolate Coconut Chew.
International sales commenced in the summer of 2004.
In 2008, General Mills acquired the original producer of Lärabars, Humm Foods.
