Rye

Rye is a cold climate gluten grain that is widely used in Russia, Scandanavia and northern Europe.

Several different types of rye flour are readily available, the most common of which is medium rye flour. Light rye flour, dark rye flours, and pumpernickel flour are available in health food stores.

It is important to note that most rye bread contains only a small amount of rye and is largely made from refined white flour.
