Rye Wholemeal Flour – Rich, Earthy Flour for Traditional Bread & Baking

Rye Wholemeal Flour, also known as wholegrain rye flour or wholemeal rye flour, is made from the whole rye grain, giving it a distinctive earthy flavour, a slightly nutty taste and a hearty character. Its natural texture and robust flavour make it a popular choice for traditional bread-making, artisan baking and recipes that call for the distinctive taste of rye.

Widely used in German, Scandinavian and Eastern European cuisines, rye wholemeal flour is a key ingredient in traditional rye breads, sourdough loaves and dense pumpernickel-style bread. It can also be used in crispbreads, crackers, pancakes and selected sweet baking recipes. Rye flour behaves differently from wheat flour, producing denser doughs and baked goods, so recipes may require adjustments to liquid levels, fermentation and flour blends.
