Re: [Homesteadingfamily] Grain

 

I just asked hubby, who worked as a seed farmer for many years. Regular
rye grass can be used to make bread and such, I'm imagining that cereal rye
would be just larger seeds and make it a bit easier to process it. I dont
know if I would eat it because of the fear of ergot the wonderful fungus
that grows on it that caused so much insanity in years past.

Here is a link to pictures and things of it...

Its got TONS of info on it, you have to scroll down a bit to get to what
its used for =)

Hope this helps!
