Whole-grain rye bread keeps you feeling full for longer and causes blood sugar and insulin levels to rise more slowly than wheat bread.

The further north the fields moved, the better the cold-resistant rye prevailed against the more common grains \u2013 until farmers began cultivating it themselves. In the Middle Ages, it was the most important bread grain in Germany, Scandinavia, and Eastern Europe.<\/p>\n<p>Dark bread, pumpernickel from Westphalia, and crispbread from Sweden are all products of rye culture. The downside was ergot: the toxic fungus infested the rye and, in times of famine, caused the dreaded &quot;St. Anthony&#039;s Fire.&quot; Today, cleaning processes and strict EU maximum levels ensure that ergot is no longer a problem in flour.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"ea-k\" id=\"nutzen\">\n<h2><span>To use<\/span>What rye does for you<\/h2>\n<p class=\"ea-drop\">Wholegrain rye provides approximately 13 to 15 g. <strong>Dietary fiber<\/strong> per 100g - more than wheat, spelt or oats. A large part of this is <strong>Arabinoxylan<\/strong>, These foods bind a lot of water, provide long-lasting satiety, and are fermented by the gut flora into short-chain fatty acids. They also contain magnesium, iron, zinc, B vitamins, and lignans.<\/p>\n<p>Studies show that rye bread <strong>Insulin increase<\/strong> The post-meal blood sugar drop is lower than with wheat bread, even though the rise is similar. People also report feeling fuller for longer after eating whole-grain rye bread. As with all whole-grain products, large observational studies link high consumption with lower rates of cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes.<\/p>\n<p>Rye is not a gluten-free grain: it contains the gluten protein secalin and is forbidden for people with celiac disease. Because its gluten is weak, rye bread can only be made successfully with... <strong>sourdough<\/strong>, which binds the dough and also makes minerals more readily available.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ea-zahlen\">\n<div class=\"ea-zahl\"><b>approx. 15 g<\/b><span>Dietary fiber per 100g of whole grain<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ea-zahl\"><b>1st place<\/b><span>among the fiber content of native bread grains<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ea-zahl\"><b>down to -25 \u00b0C<\/b><span>Winter rye can withstand frost.<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ea-zahl\"><b>16\u201324 hours.<\/b><span>bakes classic pumpernickel<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"ea-k\" id=\"inhalt\">\n<h2><span>Ingredients<\/span>That&#039;s what&#039;s in the rye<\/h2>\n<p>Rye contains starch, protein (including the gluten protein secalin), dietary fiber (arabinoxylans, beta-glucans, fructans), lignans, alkylresorcinols, phenolic acids such as ferulic acid, as well as magnesium, iron, zinc, phosphorus and vitamins B1, B2, B3 and E.<\/p>\n<p>Many of these substances are located in the outer layer.
