Rye flakes
Rye flakes bring a characteristic flavour and an interesting nutritional value to numerous culinary preparations.
Rye flakes can be used in a whole host of ways. They can be incorporated into bread, muesli, biscuit or cereal bar recipes, adding a unique flavour and a crunchy texture. They can also be sprinkled onto yoghurts or smoothies or used as a base for tart fillings.
