I stumbled on your blog because I was searching for rye prices to no avail. Wheat is easy to find. In our family we are gluten intolerant. Barley makes us very uncomfortable; even more so than wheat. I cannot fully account for or explain it, but rye does not appear to create problems. There are some 100% rye breads available. These are the 'black breads' and when toasted, a slice takes some heavy duty chewing. I know that rye has about 8% gluten and there's a slight difference between wheat and rye glutens. I notice that rye does not seem to give an exorphin kick. It's just not a satisfying food as wheat bread can be. Where did you get information on the price of rye?

Really should have included the link on that, it was a very interesting story about a baker's union working together to grab up the supplies of rye flour as soon as they could. From what I've seen, it looks like rye prices are going up in a similar proportion to wheat flour http://www.newsday.com/news/local/suffolk/ny-libake305668382apr30,0,6559436.story I might have to give rye a second try. over the years my sense of smell turned against wheat and my tastes naturally developed to favor the gluten-free version of two competing brands long before I knew what gluten or Celiac was. Rye is the opposite story, its always been one of my favorite flavors. Seems like my health is an on-going experiment anyway, so why not give it a shot? Will make good fodder for another post ;) I don’t remember the exact article I saw, but the link was posted by someone in a forum I visit.
