The Bircher muesli was developed by Dr.med. Maximilian Bircher-Benner, he called it “Spys” at that time. He invented the Dr. Bircher grater in 1928 to grate the apples. The simple dish is still used today in the Centre for sientific natural medicine Bircher-Benner as a “dietary dish”, as it has proved its worth. Among other methods, the Centre for sientific natural medicine Bircher-Benner uses a nutritional therapy based on energetically high-quality fresh plant-based food. This is no coincidence, as Dr.med. Maximilian Bircher-Benner shaped the term “wholefood diet”.
