About Wholemeal rye

Wholemeal rye generally refers to rye grain retaining its bran and germ. The kernels are small and tan to brown, and become firm or chewy when cooked, with a pronounced earthy, slightly sour or nutty cereal flavour.

Whole kernels can be cooked for porridge, soups or grain dishes, while cut or cracked forms cook more quickly. The name does not specify whether the grain is intact, cracked or otherwise processed, and these forms have different textures and cooking times.
