Organic Cracked Rye Berries by Food to Live is made by cracking raw whole rye grains into medium granules. While this process reduces cooking time, it also allows to preserve the full nutritional value of the grain's bran and germ layers. Organic Cracked Rye Berries are incredibly rich in iron, a mineral that our bodies use to produce hemoglobin (a special protein within our red blood cells that is responsible for delivering oxygen to all parts of the body). Moreover, our Cracked Rye Grains aka Rye Chops are rich in Dietary Fiber and Protein, both of which are necessary for any proper diet plan. Food to Live's Cracked Rye Berries are Organic, Non-GMO, Kosher and Vegan. They're 100% raw!
