About Triticale
Triticale is a hybrid cereal grain created by crossing wheat with rye, first bred in the late nineteenth century to combine the high yield and baking quality of wheat with the hardiness and resilience of rye, and its name fuses the two parents, Triticum and Secale. The result is a wholesome grain with a pleasantly nutty, slightly sweet flavor and an impressive nutritional profile, higher in protein and the amino acid lysine than wheat, along with fiber, B vitamins, iron, and magnesium.
Much of the world crop is grown for livestock feed, but for the table triticale is milled into flour for hearty breads, muffins, and pancakes, rolled into flakes for cereal, or cooked whole like rice as a chewy side or salad base. Because it has less and weaker gluten than wheat, its dough is more delicate and is often blended with wheat flour for a better rise. It does contain gluten, so it is not safe for people with celiac disease.
Store triticale flour and whole berries in an airtight container in a cool, dry place, and refrigerate the flour to keep its oils fresh.
