  • About

This ancient grain is very similar to wheat and flour ground from it is used to make bread, biscuits and grissini. It has lots of roughage and is full of nutrients. Rye bread is particularly popular in the northern regions of Italy, especially those bordering Austria, where it is often flavoured with cumin or fennel seeds.
