Bible | Rye =Rie, (Heb. kussemeth), found in Ex. 9:32; Isa. 28:25, in all of which the margins of the Authorized and of the Revised Versions have "spelt." This Hebrew word also occurs in Ezek. 4:9, where the Authorized Version has "fitches' (q.v.) and the Revised Version "spelt." This, there can be no doubt, was the Triticum spelta, a species of hard, rough-grained wheat. Source: Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary. |
Dream Interpretation | To see rye, is a dream of good, as prosperity envelopes your future in brightest promises.

To see stock entering rye fields, denotes that you will be prosperous. Source: Ten Thousand Dreams Interpreted .... |

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
Rye (Secale cereale) is a grass grown extensively as a grain and forage crop. It is a member of the wheat tribe and is closely related to barley and wheat. Rye grain is used to make flour, feed and some whiskeys. Rye, alone or overseeded, is planted as a livestock forage or harvested for hay. It is highly tolerant of soil acidity. The first possible use of domestic rye comes from the site of Tell Abu Hureyra in northern Syria, in the Euphrates Valley, dating to late Epi-Palaeolithic.

Rye Whisky is a style of whisky made from a mash of at least 51 percent rye (the other ingredients of the mash being usually corn and malted barley).Rye Whisky is the prevalent Whisky of Canada (see Canadian whisky). It was also the prevalent whisky of the northeastern United States and most especially of Pennsylvania, but after Prohibition had largely disappeared in the United States, with only a few remaining producers.
In 1996, Fritz Maytag of the Anchor Brewery in San Francisco, California, began distilling Old Portrero Single Malt Whiskey under the label Anchor Distilling. The whiskey is made from 100 percent malted rye, and is, as of 2003, the only single malt whiskey produced in the United States.
