ORGANIC RYE 100% Italian origin

Dettagli

Rye is a mountain cereal, rich in nutritional properties. Its high fiber content benefits the intestines and intestinal flora, and it also has anti-arteriosclerotic effects.  

Rye adapts well to high altitudes and is resistant to cold climates; it grows in difficult and poor soils (steppe, heathland) and matures quickly.

It probably originates in Western Asia and follows wheat crops as a weed between wheat and barley fields, gaining ground in colder climates.

Rye is still widely cultivated today in Germanic countries, in Russia, in France and in northern Italy (Trentino-Alto Adige, Friuli, Lombardy and Piedmont).

Thanks to its resistance to cold, autumn sowing is possible even in climates that are prohibitive for other cereals.
