Rye Flour - Unsifted

Rye is a cereal grass closely related to wheat and barley, with famous taste. It is used in cereal mixes and ground into flour for bread, pumpernickel, and crisp bread. Whole rye also makes nutritious and tasty sprouts.  Rye retains more nutrients than wheat due to the germ and bran being harder to separate from the kernel. This makes rye a healthy option for those seeking to control their weight. Its dietary fiber swells up when it absorbs liquid, and rye quickly gives us the feeling of satiety or being full. One cup of cooked rye berries supplies 24 grams of fiber and an impressive 26 grams of protein. Rye contains gluten, but it contains less than wheat. Perhaps North America's best-known famous pure rye product is rye bread. Grind whole rye into your fresh rye flour; rye flour is an integral part of sourdough starters used to make sourdough bread.
