Rye bread

Rye bread is a type of bread made primarily from rye flour, which comes from the rye grain. It typically has a denser texture and a slightly tangy flavor compared to wheat bread, often due to fermentation processes like sourdough. Rye flour contains less gluten, resulting in a hearty, chewy crumb and darker color. It is commonly enjoyed in many cultures, especially in Eastern Europe and Scandinavia, and pairs well with savory fillings. Rye bread is valued for its rich taste, nutritional benefits, and its ability to stay fresh longer than lighter breads.
