A story of the Rye Bread
Rye bread has been around since the Middle Ages, originating in Eastern Europe and the Nordic countries. Rye was a hardy grain that thrived in cold climates where other grains struggled. People in these regions began making dense, flavorful bread from rye, which lasted longer due to natural fermentation. This bread became a crucial part of their diet and remains popular today for its unique taste and nutritional benefits.
