What is "rye"?
Rye is a grain known for its distinct earthy flavor, hearty texture, and robust nutritional profile. With a slightly tangy and nutty taste, rye provides a satisfying chewiness and a depth of flavor to bread, crackers, and other baked goods. Its unique gluten structure contributes to the dense and moist texture of baked products, making them filling and satisfying. Rye's rich fiber content and beneficial compounds make it a nutritious choice, promoting digestive health and offering a range of vitamins and minerals.
