Homemade granola is the more nutrient-dense of the two, 60 of 100 versus 52 of 100 for puffed millet. Granola has similar protein per 100 g (13.7 g vs 13 g) but more than three times the fiber (8.9 g vs 2.7 g), while puffed millet is far lower in sugar (0.55 g vs 19.8 g), sodium (5 mg vs 26 mg), calories (354 vs 489), and fat (3.4 g vs 24.3 g).
