Our organic Whole Grain Dark Rye Flour contains the entire rye seed or berry. It is a full-flavoured flour that is perfect for hearty, peasant-style breads and for the production of natural rye starters and sourdough.

The addition of rye flour (common in many hearty French-style breads) gives bread great colour, texture and a fine crust. Traditional recipes for french-bread still call for the addition of a small amount of rye flour to help extend shelf life. Dark rye retains much more of the protein, vitamins and minerals than light rye as nothing is removed (or added) during the milling.
