Triticale is a cereal grain created by plant breeders. In the 1950s, plant geneticists hoped that a cross fertilisation of wheat and rye would produce a cereal with superior yield. The hardiness and disease resistance of rye was combined with the milling and baking qualities of wheat.
- Similar to wheat, with 13% protein, but lower in lysine and niacin.
- Lower in protein complex which forms gluten.
- A good source of phosphorus and magnesium and a very good source of manganese.
- Contains B-group vitamins, most notably thiamin and folate.
Triticale flakes – whole grain triticale is pressed and rolled, which than may be used like rolled oats to make a hot breakfast cereal or substituted for rolled oats in recipes (e.g. in cookies and muffins).
