Rye is one of those grains that is difficult to grow in Australia because we have a very different soil topology here to where rye comes from in Central Europe. Thus, our rye flour is quite harsh by comparison with the European's offering, according to German bakers who have worked extensively with rye.

Here in Australia we also have less grades of rye flour too - ours tends to be quite coarse, and so it's difficult to make a lighter rye bread with what's available domestically.

Having said that, there is a strong demand for all kinds of rye breads, and for good reason - rye has a wonderful, tangy flavour, and makes quite amazing sourdough starter. Really, rye and sourdough go together!

Rye bread is rich with benefitial nutrients, improves digestion, helps weight loss, maintains healthier blood sugar levels, prevents diabetes and heart disease etc.
