Chefs Tips

  • Rye flour is different to wheat flours because the refinement process doesn’t break down the germ and the bran from the endosperm.
  • In Layman’s terms this means that rye flour retains a large quantity of its nutrients including fibre, protein, potassium, calcium, iron, phosphorus, magnesium, manganese, vitamin B1, folic acid, thiamin, niacin and antioxidants.
  • Additionally, rye grains have been found to not effect blood sugar levels as much as wheat grains.
  • Rye grains have been found to be efficient at fat burning, lowering blood pressure, reducing inflammation and decreasing the risk of cardiovascular diseases.
