Rikli’s rye bread

Swiss healer Arnold Rikli, who is considered a pioneer of natural healing and tourism in Bled, also advocated an ascetic, fresh, high-quality and meat-free diet in his therapies. Rikli's rye bread is among the foods that he was happy to recommend to his followers.

Due to the high nutritional value of rye flour and its high fibre content, as well as very little starch and gluten, the bread had a positive effect on alleviating the intestinal problems of his patients.

Try a modern version of Rikli’s bread, prepared with yeast, which is therefore easier to digest, has a lower glycemic index and has a beneficial effect on the intestinal mucosa.
