About Whole rye

Whole rye refers to intact rye kernels with their outer layers and germ retained. The kernels are firm and elongated, commonly tan to brown, and have a relatively dense structure.

Whole rye can be simmered until tender for grain dishes, added to soups, or milled into flour. Cooked kernels remain pleasantly chewy and have a distinctive earthy, cereal-like flavour. This entry describes whole rye grain, not rye flour, cracked rye, bread or a prepared cereal.
