I’ve been exploring using rye flour in my cooking. I love the hardy deep taste of rye. Besides the delicious rich taste here are a few things you probably didn’t know about rye:
- Rye increases your fullness feeling
- Rye may suppress weight gain
- Rye balances blood sugar
- Rye is rich in fiber
I made these rye waffles mixing both rye and white flour together. The added flavor comes from using sour cream in the waffle batter. This is a yummy breakfast.
From by the bay, wishing you delicious rye food memories!
