Growing Rye For Food

Question

I want to make rye flour from scratch by growing it in my garden. I cannot find seeds online, other than for grazing rye and other green manure varieties. Can I just plant rye berries bought from a health food store?

Answer 1

Yes, as long as they are not malted, or roasted. Plain, dried grains will germinate just fine. Here is an article that will help:
