McCabe Organic Rye Berries - Whole Rye Berries 2 Lbs | USDA Certified Organic and CCOF Certified | Product of USA

Taste great. Delivered quickly. I needed both cracked & whole rye berries so I just put some in my coffee grinder and broke them up. I made Volkorn brot and it turned out delicious. I use to manage a German bakery which we made Volkorn brot every week. I believe mine was far more outstanding in taste because of the berries being so fresh. I made the bread in a Pullmans loaf pan and it's very important to let mix set for 24 hrs then bake, let cool completely down before slicing for it will be Very moist. Turns out wonderful. Value for quality. Delish!

The rye berries are tasty and easy to cook in a rice cooker. One cup of grains with 2 1/2 cups of water, 1/4 tsp salt. Set it to brown rice or cook it like regular rice. NO PRESOAK! You might need three cups of water. These look good on your plate with the rest of your meal. Recently I didn't have a full cup of rye berries left in the bag. (I use the 8 oz cup for the whole grains, and the Japanese cup (6 oz) that comes with the rice cooker for any rice. ) I mixed the rye berries with brown rice, calculating the water for each amount of grain. I loved it! and will mix them again.

Works fine for including whole rye grains in my bread

These rye groats (or berries) looked tiny and grayish in the bag, but plumped up two to three times in size and turned a tan color when gently boiled. Rye is a gluten grain, so to dispel any concern I might have an allergy or be sensitive to gluten, I paid to get a blood test done through LifeExtension.com (which is nice because you don't have to wait until you see your doctor). I learned I don't, so I am free to consume this highly nutritious grain. They taste really good and mix well with whole oat groats, cooking in about the same amount of time. You cook them to your desired degree of chewiness.

Product is always fresh.
