Dense, dark bread made largely from rye meal and flour, a staple in Germany, Scandinavia, the Baltic countries and Russia. A 40 g slice gives about 100 kcal, 3.5 g of protein and 2.6 g of fiber, with useful manganese and selenium. Rye bread is fairly salty at about 240 mg of sodium per slice, which adds up when it is eaten at every meal.
