Rye

Danko rye is originally from Poland and is a true milling-type rye. Most ryes grown in the Northeast are cover-crop varieties and have small seeds with a high bran-to-starch ratio, making them a poor choice for baking, malting, and distilling, but Danko has large, plumb, blue-green berries with a good flavor balance between bready and spicy. It is a favorite among beer makers and distillers, and has featured prominently at the Brewer’s Choice event in New York City. Bakers love it for producing authentic European-style rye breads. Agronomically, Danko rye also does well on our soils.
