πΎ The Bread That Fed Europe for Centuries
Before wheat became king, rye was the everyday bread of Northern and Eastern Europe. From Germany and Poland to Scandinavia and the Baltics, families relied on naturally fermented rye sourdough because it thrived in colder climates and stayed fresh longer than wheat bread.
Why rye? π
β Higher in fiber than most wheat breads
β Helps keep you feeling full longer
β Lower glycemic impact, meaning steadier energy
β Rich in minerals like manganese, magnesium, and iron
β Traditional sourdough fermentation may improve digestibility
