About Whole rye grain

Whole rye grain consists of intact rye kernels, typically tan to brown, with a firm, chewy structure when cooked. The kernels have an earthy, slightly sweet flavour and can be cooked whole or cracked coarsely.

It is used in grain preparations and breads, where whole or broken kernels provide a hearty texture. Whole kernels, cracked grain and flour are distinct forms; this entry refers to the intact grain, not rye flour or a prepared bread.
