About Rye sourdough

Rye sourdough is a fermented rye-based starter or dough ingredient. The label does not specify whether it means an active starter, a fermented dough, or a dried sourdough preparation, nor does it give the proportion of rye or fermentation details. Its defining feature is rye-based fermentation rather than a fixed recipe.

It is used in bread and other baked foods to provide fermented rye character and can contribute a tangy flavour. Depending on form, it may be a moist paste or dough, or a dried ingredient. The taste, texture, and leavening activity vary with its preparation and whether it is active or processed.
