Kölln Oat Granola Crunchy Berry Vegan

Oats are not just a grain – for us at Kölln they are a real passion! For over 200 years we have relied on their valuable properties and made them the focus of our products.

Oats: The local superfood

Did you know? In 2017, oats were named Medicinal Plant of the Year in Germany. No wonder, because as a wholegrain product it supports balanced blood sugar and cholesterol levels – and all naturally. A real superfood that fits into every healthy lifestyle.

To ensure that our oat products are always of the best quality, we use a mixture of German, Scandinavian and regional oats. Oats find optimal conditions, especially in Finland and Sweden: mild temperatures, long summer days and nutrient-rich soils ensure large, light and aromatic oat kernels – the perfect basis for our Kölln products.

The all-rounder among grains. Wheat is not only one of the oldest but also one of the most versatile grains in the world. It found its way to Europe around 7,000 years ago – today it is hard to imagine our diet without it. Whether as flour, semolina, flakes or even as wheat beer – this sweet grass can do it all.

With its high gluten content, wheat ensures the perfect consistency in bread and pasta. No wonder it is considered the bread grain. You can find it in various forms in our products, for example, as an ingredient in the crunchy pieces of our Oat Granolas. And the best part? Our organic wheat comes from 100 % German organic farming, while the conventional wheat for our crunchy pieces comes exclusively from Northern Germany.

Strawberries are one of most people's absolute favourite fruits. We use them in our mueslis as freeze-dried strawberry pieces or as a fine powder – for the perfect fruit kick.

The harvest season begins in early June and lasts until mid-July. Strawberries must be ripe to develop their full flavour – this can be recognised by their uniform red colour.

Freeze-dried strawberries – 100 % fruit power

Our freeze-dried strawberry pieces are made from 100 % fresh frozen strawberries. Thanks to the particularly gentle freeze-drying, the colour, shape, smell and of course the taste are completely preserved. And the best part? One kilogram of freeze-dried strawberries is made from around ten kilograms of fresh fruit - so much strawberry power in every bite!

Where do our strawberries come from?

Strawberries love a mild climate with warm days and cooler nights. That's why they grow not only in Germany, but also in other countries with a temperate climate, such as Poland. The strawberries for Kölln Oat Porridge Berry and Kölln Oat Muesli Berry & Apple – No Added Sugar come from there.

Currants are the unsung superstars among berries! Originally from Central and Eastern Europe and Northwest Asia, they were already growing in monastery gardens in the Middle Ages. Today, they are at home in almost every country with a temperate climate – and for good reason. Their variety of colours and flavours makes them simply irresistible.

What makes currants so special?

Currants grow in panicles and are studded with small, crunchy seeds – completely natural, as they should be. When harvesting, each individual berry is carefully picked by hand to protect its delicate skin. Thanks to state-of-the-art freeze-drying, the full flavour and power of the vitamins are preserved.

Our currants at Kölln come directly from Central Europe, where they can really flourish under the summer sun. These fresh, sun-ripened berries refine our Kölln Oat Porridge Berry and Kölln Oat Granola Crunchy Berry. A treat that will sweeten your day!

Sweet, slightly sour and intense in taste – raspberries are not only delicious, but also a real natural wonder. Although their name suggests it, botanically speaking they are not berries, but collected drupes. They grow on bushes up to two meters high that are covered with fine thorns.

Raspberries are in season between June and autumn. To ensure that the delicate fruits remain free of bruises, they are picked by hand. For optimal growth, they need a Mediterranean climate with hot, dry summers and mild, rainy winters. Our raspberries come from Central Europe and are processed with gentle care.

Freeze-dried raspberries – Naturally intense

In Kölln Oat Muesli Fruit – No Added Sugar, Kölln Oat Muesli Berry & Apple – No Added Sugar and Kölln Oat Porridge Berry we use freeze-dried raspberries. What does that mean? Freeze drying removes the frozen water from the fruit without destroying the cell structure. This ensures that the colour, shape and full aroma are retained – without any additives!
