Rye is particularly rich in manganese, selenium, potassium, phosphorus, magnesium, iron and zinc. It also contains the vitamins of the B complex as well as the E vitamins. Rye contains relatively small amounts of gluten, which is significant for those who are slightly sensitive to this component. This grain contains a smaller percentage of starch in comparison with wheat and its gluten index is lower, so it is particularly suitable diabetic diet.
