Shop products for Triticale 
Triticale, a combination of wheat and rye, is often added to cereals and breads.
Triticale is a hybrid grain that takes its name from the botanical names for wheat (triticum) and rye (secale). In the late 1800s, researchers experimenting with natural rye and wheat hybrids developed this seed-bearing strain. The new grain was hailed as a breakthrough because of its higher protein content; it is now grown throughout the United States, primarily in the Midwest.
Varieties
Triticale is found in cereals and in baked goods, such as crackers, cookies, and breads. It is also available in flake form, or as a whole grain or flour.
Preparation, uses, and tips
Use triticale flour in waffles for a pleasant flavour and scent. You can also sprout the berries, and add the nutritious sprouts to salads.
