is rye a highly glutenous grain?

[Guest guest]

Does anyone know how rye compares to other grains

w.r.t. gluten content? I bought some enthnic brick

pumpernickel rye the other day, and have been enjoying

it with some nice homemade kefir cream-cheese, topped

with some raw salmon fermented in kefir whey, with

garlic, onion, ginger and a bit of salt for flavor.

It's *fantastic*, but... I am wondering if we are

consuming a lot of gluten in the process. The rye has

some wheat, but it is well down the list of

ingredients. the bread is very heavy, it is more the

texture of--well, i am not sure what to compare it to,

but it is not a fluffy well risen bread like those

made with wheat.
