6 Organic flour from Knuthenlund Organic rye flour All types of grains are harvested from the fields of Knuthenlund and grinded in the Knuthenlund mill, and the production is traceable from soil to table. The grinding happens in an old-fashioned mill of stone in which the ethereal oils and vitamins, minerals and antioxidants are preserved, contributing to the taste and nutritional value of the product. Organic spelt flour The type of spelt grown at Knuthenlund is of the variety called Oberkulmer Rotkorn. This sort has a lower yield than more modern types of spelt and it has an outer shell, which must be peeled before grinding. This makes the sort more expensive to produce. In return, the Oberkulmer Rotkorn is characterized by its high level of protein, vitamins, minerals and essential amino acids. The taste is mild with a light hazel aroma. Spelt flour is generally easy to work with but it has a less tight structure of gluten. The dough is similar to dough made from ordinary wheat flour but it should less firm and more sticky in order to get a moist bread. Organic Øland wheat flour Øland wheat in many ways resembles spelt flour but the grain has no outer shell and does not need to be peeled before grinding. Øland wheat is an old grain sort, and like the Oberkulmer Rotkorn it is characterized by its high level of proteins, vitamins, minerals and essential amino acids. Øland wheat has a slighty sweet, hazel taste. The dough should be kneaded longer than ordinary wheat and should be quite sticky and soft to the touch in order to get a moist bread. Organic rye flour Rye is a very hardy crop and is therefore well suited for cultivation in productions without fertilizers and liquid manure. A high level of diet fibers, vitamins and minerals and a high level of Omega-6 sebacic acids characterize rye. Rye has a very aromatic taste and a characteristic dark color.
