Morphology
The phrase is a straightforward adjective+noun combination: 'Swedish' specifies origin or style and 'rye' names the cereal/food product. A B1 learner who knows both words can readily infer it refers to rye associated with Sweden (commonly a type of bread or rye product), following a common compositional pattern found across languages.
Etymology
Swedish rye may come from a traditional Swedish loaf called 'limpa', which is made from rye flour, molasses and orange rind. So, Swedish rye now means a moist rye loaf flavored with molasses and orange.
