Perfect for German and Nordic style breads, blending with a ‘Bread Flour’ for an interesting sourdough, and a nice addition to cookies and brownies. The rye used in this flour is grown organically by family farmers on the pristine Northern plains. Milled 100% whole and contains all the nutrition of an intact kernel of Rye. Contains no additives, is certified Organic, GMO-Free, Kosher, and Vegan. Over 150 years old, Central Milling is one of our country’s oldest continuously operating flour mills and is Employee-Owned. Organic 100% Whole Rye Flour Although rye contains proteins similar to those that develop a gluten network in spring or winter wheats, it does not form a network strong enough to trap gas produced by yeast during fermentation. This makes rye tricky to work with when used by itself. However, by blending it with another flour (like our Organic Old World Bread Flour) you can add a surprising amount of flavor to your baked goods. Our Organic Rye is grown on the North Dakota plains and is milled with a slow and cool process that retains the natural sweetness of this spectacular grain.
