Danish Chocolate Rye Buns (Chokorug)

Nielsen's chocolate rye buns exemplify Nordic food wisdom: dense, nutritious powerhouses that combine sourdough's digestibility with protein-rich seeds and the warming comfort of dark chocolate. These aren't typical sweet buns - they're energy-dense creations designed for Nordic winters, featuring overnight grain soaking for optimal texture and 70% dark chocolate for richness without overwhelming the earthy grain base.

Nordic Stone Age Bread

Perhaps Nielsen's most remarkable recipe: a grain-free, flour-free bread using only nuts, seeds, eggs, olive oil, and salt. This isn't marketing "paleo" - it's genuine exploration of ancestral nutrition principles, creating bread so dense that 100 grams provides 650 calories and 15 grams of protein. The recipe reflects Nordic practicality: maximum nutrition from minimal processing, perfect for active lifestyles.
