Cereal Bircher-Benner Style, or Birchermusli, is a popular breakfast dish that originated in Switzerland in the early 1900s. It was created by Dr. Maximilian Bircher-Benner, a Swiss physician who was an advocate for natural healing and whole foods. Bircher-Benner believed that a diet rich in fresh fruits, vegetables, and whole grains was essential for good health, and created this recipe to encourage his patients to eat more raw fruits and oats. Today, Birchermusli is enjoyed in many different variations around the world.
