Grain in black bread (3)

I believe the answer is:

rye

(Other definitions for rye that I've seen before include "Cereal used for making whiskey" , "21 [GRASS]" , "New York bread" , "(Gypsy) gent; type of bread, whiskey" , "J D Salinger novel 'The Catcher in the ...'" .)

I've seen this clue in the USA Today.
