RYE MEAL FLOUR

Also called “whole grain rye flour,” rye meal contains all of the bran, germ and endosperm of the original rye kernel. Rye meal can be ground fine, medium or coarse. Rye flour contains enough gluten to make a yeasted loaf on its own, and tends to produce dense, dark, richly flavoured bread. It’s often mixed with wheat flour to produce a lighter style of loaf. Rye flour’s intensely fruity flavor is delicious incorporated into fruited cakes and sweet quickbreads such as scones.
