About
Rye flour is a milled cereal grain that weighs about 4.0 ounces (114 grams) per cup.
Rye flour has a bulk density of about 4.0 ounces per cup (0.48 grams per milliliter), meaning it takes up slightly more space than regular white flour. A standard one-pound bag (454 grams) occupies about 4 US cups (950 milliliters) of volume. Ground from cold-tolerant rye grain, its coarse particle shape and low moisture content keep it loose and aerated when poured.
From Wikipedia
Rye is a grass grown extensively as a grain, a cover crop and a forage crop. It is grown principally in an area from Eastern and Northern Europe into Russia.
