What it is

Organic dark rye flour is made from the whole grain of the rye plant, including the bran and germ. It is milled from rye berries and is known for its dense texture and distinct, earthy flavor. The 'dark' designation refers to the type of rye grain used and the milling process, which retains more of the outer layers of the kernel.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use organic dark rye flour to impart a hearty texture and rich flavor to baked goods. It is a primary ingredient in traditional rye breads, pumpernickel, and some crackers. Its high fiber content also contributes to the structure and density of these products.

Health notes

Organic dark rye flour is a whole grain and a source of dietary fiber and nutrients. The FDA considers whole grains to be part of a healthy dietary pattern. JECFA and EFSA have evaluated rye and its components, recognizing their nutritional value. No specific health concerns are associated with the consumption of rye flour at typical dietary levels.

Allergen info

Rye is a grain, but it is not one of the 9 FDA major allergens. However, rye contains gluten, which can cause adverse reactions in individuals with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity.
