About Triticale
Triticale is a hybrid of wheat and rye developed in the late 19th century to combine wheat's yield with rye's hardiness. Protein content is solid, fiber is present, and fat is low. The amino acid profile is slightly better than wheat alone. It can be milled into flour or cooked whole, though it remains less common in American kitchens than either parent grain. Worth seeking out for bread baking where a slightly earthier, more complex flavor than plain wheat is wanted.
