Serve cooked rye flakes with maple syrup and sliced bananas as a hearty breakfast cereal, or combine
cooked rye berries with sliced fennel, tomatoes, and chopped basil for a delicious, unusual salad. Rye flour
contains less gluten than wheat flour, so it won’t produce a well-risen loaf of bread
without the addition of some higher-protein flour.
Buying and storing tips
Find prepackaged rye in most natural foods or grocery stores; buy it in bulk for maximum
savings. Store rye in a cool, dry area in a sealed glass or plastic container, because air,
moisture, and sunlight can cause the oils to go rancid.
