Rye bread is a type of
bread made with various proportions of
flour from
rye grain. It can be light or dark in color, depending on the type of flour used and the addition of coloring agents, and is typically denser than bread made from
wheat flour. It is higher in
fiber than white bread and is often darker in color and stronger in flavor. Compared to
white bread, rye bread has a lower
glycemic index, which means it does not cause a spike in
blood sugar.
