Light rye flour is a relatively pale, finely milled rye flour used in breads, crackers and baking, alone or blended with wheat flour.
About Light rye flour
Light rye flour is a milled rye product with a paler colour than darker, more whole-grain rye flours. It is used in breads, crackers and other baking, often alone or blended with wheat flour. The flour is dry and finely ground, with a mild, earthy rye flavour that is generally less pronounced than that of darker rye flour.
The term “light” commonly indicates a finer or more refined flour, but milling practices and extraction levels can differ by producer and region. It is sold as a dry flour and may vary in colour and particle size. It is distinct from whole rye kernels, rye meal and dark rye flour.
