Rye is usually grown as a grain, cover crop, or forage crop. Its grain can be used as flour, made into bread, beer, and animal fodder. Any baked goods that are made with rye flour will turn out darker than the usual wheat-based products because of their natural coloration.

Compared to other cereal grains, cereal rye grows faster in fall and winter and produces more dry matter per unit area as a winter cover crop. Organic winter rye can also be tilled back into the soil for Organic \"green manure\" garden mulch, or harvest in the fall for traditional rolled, milled, or steel-cut heirloom rye berries.

For a traditional garden harvest, sow 2-3 Organic winter rye cover crop seeds ½\" deep and 2-3\" apart in fertile, loamy, and well-drained garden soil in full sun. Non-GMO winter rye seeds germinate in 4-10 days, with no thinning required. Non-GMO \u003cem\u003eSecale cereale\u003c\/em\u003e is a winter-hardy grain with no serious pests or diseases. If sown to harvest rye grains and berries, then harvest winter rye when heads of seeds have become dried, hard, and heavy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDepending on size of crop, anything from a pair of scissors to a scythe would work to cut down winter rye for drying. Using twine, bunch up loose rye into a bale, about the size of a bundle of wood. Allow winter rye cover crop to dry for 2-3 weeks before harvesting rye berries. Like many grains of the \u003cem\u003eTriticeae\u003c\/em\u003e family, Organic winter rye berries can be milled, rolled, steel-cut, and boiled for nearly any occasion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eOrganic Winter Rye Benefits\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen planted in the fall, Winter Rye establishes quickly, providing lush green cover through the winter, offering producers erosion and weed control while building Organic matter in the soil. Non-GMO Organic winter rye is popularly grown as a cover crop for its ability to transfer nitrogen back into depleted soils. Heirloom winter rye seeds are also grown to break up heavy, clay-rich soils to bolster erosion control while allowing future spring crops, especially root vegetables, to experience no soil competition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWinter Rye can be used when fall planting is needed for temporary pasture. Winter rye is also known to slow down the germination process of surrounding weeds and plants, a trait known as \u003cem\u003eallelopathy\u003c\/em\u003e, which provides a strong defense against weed growth, unwanted reseeding, and invasive species. Heirloom winter rye is more tolerant to drought than other cereal grains and can act as a \"green manure\" mulch biomass when tilled back into the soil for Organic-rich spring garden soil.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eOrganic Rye Berries\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRye is unusual among grains for the high level of fiber in its endosperm, not just in its bran.
