"Ryegrain specie is an excellent source of essential vitamins and soluble fibre. The human body lacks these vitamins and thus, these must be supplied by external sources such as rye. A high fiber diet is capable of lowering high cholesterol levels and that is what rye enables. The fiber also helps in the upkeep of the elasticity of blood vessels and prevents hardening of arteries and thus, promotes heart health. Stereotyped as a poverty grain, rye is capable of growing even in the poorest of soils. But its advantages must never be undermined''.
