Rye Bread

- Pumpernickel bread: Rye bread made from whole rye grains instead of flour
- Can be made with partially old dough, called the "sourdough method"
- Rye bread originated in Germany
- 500 AD: Danes and Saxons introduce rye to England
- Jewish rye is made with a mixture of rye and wheat flour

Rye Bread is made primarily with flour from rye grain, though wheat flour may be added to achieve a denser texture. In North America, rye bread nearly always has caraway seeds or fennel added to the crust, though this is not a requirement.
Health Benefits

Rye Bread is a good source of whole grains, and is high in dietary fiber and manganese. One sandwich made with rye bread can provide over one-third of the recommended daily amount of fiber, nearly as much as a sandwich made with whole wheat bread.
According to the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, wheat bread induces a relatively high insulin response, and thus rye bread may be a healthier choice for diabetes sufferers.
Some studies have even shown that whole grains, of which rye is a source, may provide as many cancer-fighting nutrients as similar servings of fruits and vegetables.
