What it is

Wholemeal rye flour is made from the entire rye grain, including the bran, germ, and endosperm. Rye is a hardy cereal grain, and wholemeal rye flour retains the grain's natural fiber, vitamins, and minerals. It has a coarser texture and a more robust, slightly sour flavor compared to wheat flour.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use wholemeal rye flour to add a distinct flavor, texture, and nutritional value to baked goods. It is commonly found in breads, crackers, and other savory baked items, contributing to a denser crumb and a hearty taste.

Health notes

Wholemeal rye flour is a source of dietary fiber and nutrients. The FDA considers whole grains like rye to be part of a healthy diet. International bodies such as EFSA have evaluated rye and its components. Evidence suggests that whole grains can be part of a balanced diet that supports overall health.

Allergen info

Wholemeal rye flour is derived from wheat, which is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. It contains gluten.
