Rédei whole grain rye pasta is made from high-quality organic rye from ecological farming. Rye is most likely the youngest cereal. Its origin can be traced back to about 2500 years ago when cultivation began after the breeding of a wild rye species - mountain rye - in Asia Minor. Rye is the grain of German black bread, often used for brewing beer and distilling spirits. It is mainly used for making sourdough in bread baking.
