How to Cook Organic Rye

To cook rye berries, you'll need to soak them overnight (1 part berries two parts water). Then, drain and rinse the grains before bringing them to a boil in a pot. Add a bit of salt and let simmer for 40-50 minutes.

Without pre-soaking, you'll need to cook organic rye berries for about 3 hours. The grains are done when they get as firm as you need them to be. Don't forget to remove them from heat a bit earlier if you plan to add them to a stew or otherwise cook.

Organic rye berries can be a substitute for other whole grains in the majority of recipes. Try making rye pilaf and add cooked grains to salads.

Organic rye bread tastes fantastic and is the healthiest kind of bread you can find. Be sure to use organic rye berries in various baking recipes.

How to Sprout Rye Berries

Sprouting organic rye berries is extremely simple and fast. Let them soak for 8-12 hours, rinse, drain, and transfer to a sprouter. If you don't have one, use a glass jar covered with a piece of thin muslin cloth.

Position the sprouter so that it gets a bit of indirect sunlight during the day. Rinse and drain sprouts every 12 hours. Organic rye berry sprouts should be ready to eat in 3 days, but some people prefer to stop at 2. You can also keep rinsing and draining longer to get a crop of ryegrass.

Cook the sprouts before eating. Steaming will work best and help you preserve nutrients.

Add rye berries sprouts to stews, salads, and soups. You can also dry them and make organic rye sprout flour.
