Description:

Rye is a grass and is closely related to barley and wheat. Recognized in the past as a weed, it was not domesticated until the 4th Century B.C. Rye Berries are the grain of Rye with only the hull removed. Rye Berries are high in amino acids and B Vitamins and are very rich in fiber. They are firm and chewy with a mild walnut flavor.

Native to Southwest Asia, Rye Berries can be used in a variety of applications such as flour, rye bread, rye beer, some whiskies and vodkas, and as animal fodder. You may eat Rye Berries boiled or rolled, similar to oats. Rye is now a very popular bread grain even though Rye contains fragile gluten properties, which make it difficult to bake in bread.
