Making the Rye(d) Choice
Share
Dark rye flour is traditionally milled from the outer tissue of the rye plant, which contains more colour pigments of the rye berry, giving dark rye flour its darker colour compared to the usual rye flour. Typically, dark rye flour, also known as whole rye flour, is obtained through a coarser grinding process. Dark rye flour is often crowned as the healthiest amongst all the different types of rye flours, due to its high content of bran and germ.
