Is the dark rye flour nutrition content incorrect?
The nccdb database here lists dark rye to have 23.8g of fiber for every 100g of flour. That sounds insane, so I went online to find the nutritional values of whole rye berries. None of them were even close to 23.8g fiber/100g flour. The highest I could find for whole rye berries was 15-6g fiber/100g berry, and the most rye flours are around 10-13g fiber/100g flour. I wonder if the value provided from nccdb is wrong? If not, and it uses a special superpowered flour, where can I find this type of flour?

Hi denseloaf,
They don't provide info on where they got their samples, but fiber value comes from Food Data Central's reported analytical value for dark rye flour here: https://fdc.nal.usda.gov/fdc-app.html#/food-details/168885/nutrients
