Description

A brief historyRye originated in Asia Minor, in what is now Turkey. Rye was known to the Ancient Greeks and Romans, but was not cultivated to any great extent by them.In this region, rye has been cultivated for over 1,000 years. Rye was tolerant to cold and sown in the autumn, by the mid-19th Century, rye made up one third of all cultivated grain. Rye was an important crop for the working population and a crucial part of the basic diet in those days, used to make rye bread and rye gruel, for instance. Rye differs from other types of grain in that it is a cross pollinator and is recognized by its open blossom. When the rye blossom releases its pollen, this can be seen as a mist over the shoots, which can look like a wave of smoke. Health benefitsRye is the most fibre rich of all our Turkish cereals, and gives you a feeling of satisfied fullness - ideal for breakfast in other words. Rye fibre is good for bowel health and contributes to a normal bowel function. Rye is an excellent source of fibre. Contains 20 g fibre per 100 g – rye contains 4-5% of the relatively recently discovered fibre fructan, that is not yet part of traditional dietary fibre analysis. 100 gram of rye a day will provide up to 50% of the recommended daily intake of several important vitamins and minerals. 70% of daily dietary fibre requirements - but only 15% of daily energy needs. Eating a large portion of porridge with 15 dl rye flakes and 2 slices of whole grain rye bread will give you 100g of rye.Tip! Use rye flakes instead of bread crumbs. And use leftover rye bread to make crunchy croutons in salads - and help reduce food waste.
