RYE FLAKES

Rye comes from the Middle East, but prefers cold climates. It is a biennial plant of the genus Secale belonging to the family Poaceae (grasses). Rye was not a crop in itself until late. For a long time, it will be “accidentally” harvested at the same time as wheat or barley without having been expressly sown and behaving rather like a weed. It was by realizing that its yields were better than those of other cereals that rye became a “real” cereal. In any case, it has been appreciated for centuries: already in the Middle Ages there was the famous rye bread. These pre-steamed flakes are convenient and easy to use. Rye grain 100%
