Why Rye Flour?
Rye flour adds a robust taste, moist texture, and slightly tangy note to flatbread. It’s high in fiber and rich in minerals like iron and magnesium, keeping you full longer. Especially in combination with whole grain, it’s not only delicious but nutritious.
But to enjoy the full benefits of rye, it should be freshly milled – and that’s where the Salzburger Grain Mill comes in.

Once you’ve baked with fresh flour, there’s no going back. The aroma is richer, the nutrients intact, and the flavor far superior. The Salzburger Grain Mill – crafted from solid wood – is built to last, easy to use, and perfect for grinding rye to your preferred texture.
Best of all: you know exactly what’s in your flour – no additives, no preservatives, just 100% nature.
