100% PURE RYE FLOUR

All of Eureka’s Rye product are 100% Rye and are not blended with wheat flour. The rye flour has a protein content of around 10% Rye flour has a lower gluten content than wheat flour, and contains a higher proportion of soluble fiber, which is sometimes called roughage, is the indigestible portion of plant foods that pushes food through the digestive system, absorbing water and easing defecation.

Eureka Meulens only uses high-quality, locally-produced wheat. In the region in and around Heidelberg  and Swellendam conservation farming is the norm and wheat is cultivated in soil worked by light-toothed implements rather than disturbed by the conventional disc plough. As much as possible of the residue of the harvesting process is also left on the land. As a result, the soil is high in natural organic materials and the development of soil organisms like earthworms is greatly stimulated. As a consequence the soil needs less fertiliser – especially nitrogen – and its texture and structure is improved by these sustainable practices and the effect of the soil organisms on an ongoing basis.
