About Rye flakes
Rye flakes are flattened rye kernels, commonly produced by steaming or conditioning whole or partly processed grain and rolling it. The flakes are usually flat and tan to brown, with a firm, chewy texture when cooked and a mild, earthy grain flavour.
They are cooked as a hot cereal, added to breads and baked goods, or included in grain mixtures. Products can differ in whether the kernels are whole or pearled and in flake thickness and prior heat treatment, which affect cooking time and texture.
