Rye flour comes from a grain-like cereal produced by grinding the whole fruit and contains its sprouts and bran. The bakery products he gives us are "heavy", with a hard crust, dark in color with a special characteristic taste. In appearance and texture it resembles whole wheat flour and is usually mixed with other flour. There are many varieties of rye bread that depend on the composition of its flour as well as its admixtures with other flours.

Due to the presence of a little gluten compared to other flours, the dough does not have consistency, does not swell, does not become bulky as we would expect. Either use it plain, or add other flours or leavening agents such as guar gum, yeast, baking soda. It is also used in confectionery and cooking recipes. Ideal flour for kneading by hand, for the baker and for making bread in the hull without kneading, which require only a simple mixing of their ingredients.
