What it is

Rye meal is a coarse flour made from ground rye grain. Rye is a cereal grain, closely related to wheat and barley, grown in cooler climates. The whole grain, including the bran and germ, is typically milled to produce rye meal.

Why it's used

Rye meal is used as a whole grain ingredient in baked goods, providing a distinct earthy flavor and denser texture. It is commonly found in breads, crackers, and some breakfast cereals, contributing fiber and nutrients.

Health notes

Rye meal is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of dietary fiber, which is associated with digestive health. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated rye and its components, but no specific health claims are made by these bodies regarding typical consumption levels of rye meal.

Allergen info

Rye is not one of the nine major allergens recognized by the FDA. However, rye contains gluten, a protein that can cause adverse reactions in individuals with celiac disease or non-celiac gluten sensitivity.
