Organic Dark Rye Flour

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.

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.

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.
