A member of the wheat family, rye has long lived in the shadow of its more famous cousin, but no longer. With its chewy texture, earthy, slightly spicy flavor, and rich nutritional profile, this versatile grain deserves to be admired and enjoyed in its own right!
As with other whole grains, Rye Berries are a nutrient-rich source of fiber, protein, vitamins, and minerals (especially manganese, phosphorus, and magnesium). Longer and more slender than wheat, they naturally vary in color from a warm gold to a mellow green.
Rye is an especially hardy, resilient cereal grain, capable of being grown in soils and conditions inhospitable to wheat and other grains. As a result, it is widespread in Scandinavia, Northern Europe, Russia, and other harsh, colder climes, and is closely associated with regional cuisines. Traditional in breads, crispbreads, and fermented beverages, rye can be substituted for wheat, brown rice, spelt, or other grains in a wide variety of dishes, both savory and sweet.
