Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Rye berries are native to eastern Europe, where it was a hardy crop suitable to the harsh cold and wet climate of that area; European peasants called it "black wheat." Indeed, nutritionally, it is most close to wheat, containing vitamins B and E, protein and iron.
