From whiskey to bread, rye is a cereal grass that’s closely related to barley and wheat. Its earthy, slightly sweet flavor is instantly recognizable.
Rye may have been one of the first cereal crops to be cultivated throughout the world, with some estimates dating back 13,000 years ago. In the United States, North Dakota leads production with Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Oklahoma and Minnesota following.
Rye is a rich source of protein, dietary fiber, B vitamins and niacin. This nutrition profile, plus its flavor, make rye flour, rye cuts and rye flakes popular throughout the baking and food industry.
