Rye vs. Wheat:

THE TECHNICAL RESPONSE:
Rye provides carbohydrates, plenty of fiber, as well as vitamin E; the B vitamins thiamine, riboflavin, folic acid, and pantothenic acid; the minerals calcium, potassium and iron; and phosphorus. It has less gluten than wheat. Significantly, rye provides a complete amino acid profile. Wheat also provides complex carbohydrates, fiber, and vitamins and minerals. Wheat is an incomplete protein; while it contains all eight essential amino acids, it does not contain them in adequate amounts for good nutrition.

THE PLAIN ENGLISH RESPONSE:
Based on talking with lots of folks (customers) who eat RyKrisp, the impact of rye is that you end up with a lot less filling/bloating feeling. Whether it’s the lower gluten or not, I am not yet that expert.

    Rye definitely…. it’s much more flavorful and a unique one at that. And like it’s mentioned the gluten factor isn’t there and just the wheat thing…! Rye Wins!!!
