Rye Flour

Rye Flour is a milled flour made from rye grain and is commonly used in Northern and Eastern European baking for breads, crackers and dense loaves; Fine Rye Flour is a more finely ground version best suited to lighter-textured rye breads and pastries. Nutrition-wise, Rye Flour is notable for its relatively high fiber content at 15g per 100g, modest protein and very low fat—making it useful when you want a grain that promotes fullness and has a lower glycaemic impact than many refined wheat flours. It also contributes trace minerals such as manganese, selenium and copper. From a health perspective, rye flour is valued for supporting digestive health and satiety because of its fiber and whole-grain characteristics; it also supplies useful micronutrients with little saturated fat. For baking, swapping to whole-grain versions will further boost its fiber and mineral benefits.
