Rye bread

Also called: roggenbrot, sourdough rye, brot, bread

How Rye bread affects your doshas

In Ayurveda a food's effect depends on your constitution. This is the lens the app uses to suggest what to favour and ease off.

When to go easy

Dry and heavy — the combination tends to unsettle Vata digestion and sit heavily for Kapha, especially cold.
