Rye berries vs cracked rye
Can one substitute whole berries for cracked rye? I cannot find CR in my community and cracking it in my Vitamix is a hit-and-miss affair.

I cannot find cracked rye either (I write from Davis, CA), but I do have a Vitamix. In my hands, efforts to make cracked rye with the Vitamix produce a mix of very finely ground all the way to virtually untouched rye berries. It's this mix I use when I make Danish rye bread. I soak it all in water overnight and add it to my mix in the morning when I make the final dough. Works for me.
I have had brilliant success with Nuts.com:
Organic Cracked Rye Berries
and I get my whole wheat flour, rye flour, sunflower seeds, and lots of other things there too.
No, I don't work for them or get a kickback, but I should!!
cracked rye.
