Rye flour brings a dense, flavorful crumb to breads, flatbreads, pancakes, and crackers: plus a taste of centuries-old grain traditions in your kitchen.
Grown regeneratively without pesticides or genetic manipulation and stone-milled the old-fashioned way, this flour preserves the grain’s natural flavor, texture, and nutrients.
Bagged in cotton, and never fortified, bromated, or bleached.
This is grain your ancestors would recognize.
Traditional Recipes that use rye flour =
Breads
- Pumpernickel bread – dense, dark, slightly sweet German bread.
- Sourdough rye – a blend with wheat for structure, with tangy flavor.
- Rye sandwich bread – classic Eastern European rye, sometimes with caraway seeds.
- Borodinsky bread – Russian rye bread flavored with coriander and molasses.
- Flatbreads and crispbreads – Scandinavian-style knäckebröd or traditional rye flatbreads.
Breakfast & Porridge
- Rye porridge – a warm, creamy dish, common in Nordic and Eastern European cuisine.
- Rye pancakes (Rye flapjacks) – hearty pancakes often served with savory toppings.
Savory Items
- Rye crackers – thin, crisp, often with seeds like caraway, fennel, or sesame.
- Rye noodles or dumplings – traditional in some Slavic and Germanic cuisines.
Because rye has limited gluten, it does not perform well alone in airy sourdough or yeast-leavened breads. It shines when blended with stronger flours like Turkey Red or Rouge de Bordeaux, adding flavor, moisture, and a touch of ancient grain character to loaves, rolls, and artisan breads.
Regeneratively Grown. Heritage Grains
The wheat we eat today is vastly different from the heritage varieties our ancestors relied on. Over the last century, wheat has been bred for higher yields, disease resistance, and compatibility with industrial processing, rather than for its nutritional value or digestibility. These modern wheat varieties often contain altered protein structures, making them harder to digest. Additionally, the practice of pre-harvest desiccation, where wheat is sprayed with glyphosate right before harvest to accelerate drying, has become increasingly common. Which means glyphosate residues end up on the flour you consume, further compromising digestive health and negatively impacting gut bacteria.
At Nourish Food Club, we preserve the traditional wheat varieties that our ancestors ate. These ancient heritage grains are not only more nutritious but also far more digestible. Our chemical-free heritage grains are cultivated with regenerative agriculture practices that work in harmony with the land, restoring soil health and biodiversity. The result is a flour that honors the past, offering superior taste, digestibility, and nutritional value - without the toxic agrochemicals.
Pure, Unadulterated Flour
Walk down any bread aisle, and you’ll see “enriched flour” as a staple ingredient. While it sounds positive, it actually signals a troubling process: most modern flour is stripped of its natural nutrients, and then synthetic versions are added back in. This includes iron shards (yes, real metal) and synthetic B vitamins like folic acid, which can disrupt the body’s natural nutrient balance. What's more - most commercial flour is bleached these days, which involves treating the flour with chemicals (like chlorine gas or benzoyl peroxide) to whiten it and speed up the aging process. This bleaching process not only alters the color of the flour but can also strip away some of its nutrients.
Our heritage flour, however, is free from such artificial fortification. We believe in preserving the natural integrity of the grain, with no bleaching and no synthetic additives. Sourced from regeneratively grown heritage wheat, our flour retains all the nutrients that nature intended, providing you with a cleaner, more nutritious product.
