What is Rye?
Rye, also known as Secale, is a cereal grain that is closely related to wheat and barley. It is cultivated extensively in Eastern and Northern Europe. Rye flour is commonly used in making bread, especially the traditional dark rye bread, as well as crispbread and certain types of whiskey and vodka. Despite its nutritional benefits, such as being high in fiber and containing essential nutrients, rye is not suitable for individuals with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity due to its gluten content.
