What it is
Organic whole rolled rye is a type of rye grain that has been steamed and flattened into flakes. This process makes the grain quicker to cook and easier to digest while retaining its nutritional value. It is derived from the rye plant, *Secale cereale*, grown using organic farming methods.
Why it's used
Manufacturers add rolled rye to products primarily for its texture, flavor, and nutritional benefits as a whole grain. It is often used in baked goods like cookies, crackers, and bread, as well as in breakfast cereals and porridges. It contributes a hearty, slightly nutty flavor and a chewy texture to foods.
Health notes
As a whole grain, organic whole rolled rye is a source of dietary fiber, vitamins, and minerals. The FDA encourages the consumption of whole grains as part of a healthy diet. Whole grains are considered conventional foods and do not have specific regulatory statuses like GRAS or approved additive. JECFA and EFSA do not evaluate whole grains as food additives.
Allergen info
Rye is a grain that contains gluten. It is not considered one of the nine major food allergens identified by the FDA, but individuals with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity must avoid it.
