What it is
Organic coarse rye flour is made from whole rye grains that have been coarsely ground. Rye is a cereal grain, a relative of wheat, grown in cooler climates. It is used as a whole grain flour, meaning it includes the bran, germ, and endosperm of the rye kernel.
Why it's used
Rye flour is often used in baking, especially for breads and rolls, to add a distinct hearty flavor and denser texture. Its higher fiber content compared to wheat flour can also affect dough consistency. It is commonly found in rye breads, pumpernickel, and some crackers.
Health notes
Rye flour is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of dietary fiber and various nutrients. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated rye and its components. Evidence suggests whole grains like rye can be part of a healthy diet, contributing to digestive health.
Allergen info
Rye is not one of the nine FDA major allergens. However, rye contains gluten and is not suitable for individuals with celiac disease or non-celiac gluten sensitivity.
