Organic Whole Dark Rye Flour

Freshly milled organic whole dark rye flour made from Canadian-grown rye, milled with the full bran and germ intact for bold flavour and deep colour.

Earthy, aromatic, and rich, this flour is a cornerstone of traditional rye baking and naturally supports strong fermentation.

Why Our Flour Is Different

Most commercial rye flours are heavily refined or blended and stored for long periods.

At Fresh Acres, we mill our rye in small batches using cold, single-pass milling. This preserves flavour, nutrients, and the flour’s natural enzymatic activity — essential for rye baking.

The dark colour and robust aroma reflect the grain’s full character and minimal processing.
