I'm unclear what you meant. 

Did you mean:

a) I've got organic rye grain,  consisting of: 1)   kibbled rye and 2)  cracked rye. 

or did you mean:

b) I've got 1) organic  whole rye kernals (whole berries), and 2) kibbled rye, and 3) cracked rye.

In case you didn't know, the unground/uncracked/whole  kernal (of any wheat or wheat-like grain, durum, spelt, rye) is called a "berry."  It does not include the non-digestible outer "husk."  But it does include the bran layer. 

So, if your case is "b)" above, you can sprout them.  You got da berries, mon.

(Note to others, "kibbled rye" is called "rye chops" in the US. It's "cracked", and then the  fines sieved off.)
