Rolled rye or rye flakes

Rye flakes are produce just like rolled oats; rye berries are steamed, rolled and then finally dried.

The whole rye berry is a good grain, adding chewiness and nutritious value, to combine with rice. Rye flakes can be added to soups and stews or used as a cereal if soaked overnight. Rye flakes, like wheat and oat flakes, make good homemade granolas.

Cream of rye can be made by simmering 1 part grain and 4 parts water over low heat for 15 minutes.

Rye is a good source of dietary fiber, phosphorous, magnesium and vitamin B1. It boasts a 4:1 magnesium to calcium ratio.

Primarily diet to its high fiber content, rye can prevent spikes in diabetic’s blood sugar level and reduce the symptoms of people with irritable bowel syndrome.
