About Dark rye flour

Dark rye flour is flour milled from rye grain and sold as a darker, more strongly flavoured rye flour. It is used in rye breads and other baked goods, often alone or blended with wheat flour to adjust structure and flavour.

It is typically gray-brown to dark brown, with a robust, earthy, slightly sour or malty taste. The precise colour and texture vary with milling and extraction; it is sold as a dry flour and is distinct from whole rye grain or prepared rye bread.
