It isn't shown in the broad view of flour that you looked at. You
have to find a tab "flours" and it will be listed in there. I have
used it for making Jewish Rye and Milwaukee Rye. Nice stuff. The rye
bread -- whether sourdough or yeasted -- rises gangbusters.
At the neighborhood yard sale one year I sold Milwaukee Rye as they
came out of the over for $4.50 a loaf. This was probably 15 years
ago, so that was an excellent price. I had samples of Pane Siciliano
and Milwaukee Rye and a dish of butter. I sold every loaf and took
orders from neighbors. Of course I started baking at about 2 a.m. It
was fun.
