Himalayan Rye Flour | Rich in Dietary Fibre

What is Rye Flour?

Rye flour is made from the rye grain, a resilient cereal grain known for its deep, earthy flavour and impressive nutritional profile. Unlike wheat flour, rye flour is darker and denser, with a slightly tangy taste. It has a unique composition that affects its baking properties; for instance, it contains less gluten than wheat, which results in a denser crumb and a more compact structure in baked goods. Rye flour is often used in traditional bread recipes, such as pumpernickel and sourdough, and is praised for its ability to produce a moist, flavourful loaf with a chewy texture.

Our Rye Flour is 100% stone ground from organic Himalayan Rye grains. Rye or rye berries grains (Secale cereale) are a grass grown extensively as a grain, a cover crop, and a forage crop and is a member of the wheat tribe.
