What is
Organic Rye Bread?

A wholesome, dense bread made primarily from rye flour, which is known for its rich flavor and nutritional benefits. Unlike traditional wheat bread, rye bread often features a slightly darker color and a unique taste that can range from earthy to mildly sweet, depending on the ingredients used and the fermentation process.

Origins & History

Rye bread is a staple in many cultures, especially in eastern and northern Europe. Its origins can be traced back hundreds of years, particularly in countries like Russia, Germany, and Scandinavia, where rye was more commonly grown than wheat due to the cooler climates. Each region has its variations, often including various seeds, grains, or sourdough elements.

Taste & Texture

The taste of organic rye bread is distinctively nutty and earthy, often with a slightly sour flavor if made with sourdough. Its texture is denser than white bread, and it has a chewy consistency that holds up well with spreads and toppings.
