About Rye kernels

Rye kernels are the intact grains harvested from rye, a cereal crop. They are firm, elongated grains, usually tan, brown or grey-green, with a chewy texture after cooking and a mild, earthy, slightly sweet taste. Some products are hulled or pearled, while others retain more of the outer layers.

Cooked kernels are used in porridges, grain salads and mixed-grain preparations; they may also be milled or used in brewing. Packaging may not make clear whether kernels are whole, hulled or pearled, and those forms can differ in cooking time and texture.
