What it is

Cultured rye flour is made by fermenting rye flour with beneficial bacteria and yeasts. This process, often called 'culturing,' changes the flour's flavor and texture. It is used as a leavening agent and flavor enhancer in baked goods.

Why it's used

Cultured rye flour is primarily used in baking to improve the rise and add a tangy, complex flavor to breads, rolls, and other baked items. It acts as a natural leavening agent, helping doughs to rise and develop a desirable texture. It is commonly found in rye breads, sandwich rolls, and other savory baked goods.

Health notes

In the United States, cultured rye flour is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a fermented food product, and fermentation can increase the bioavailability of nutrients and create beneficial compounds. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated similar fermented products. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from typical consumption.

Allergen info

Cultured rye flour is derived from rye, which contains gluten. Therefore, it is not suitable for individuals with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity.
