What it is

Triticale flakes are made from triticale, a grain developed by crossing wheat and rye. The whole grain is typically steamed and rolled into flat flakes, similar to rolled oats.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add triticale flakes to foods for their nutritional content and texture. They are commonly found in baked goods like breads and buns, adding a wholesome, slightly nutty flavor and a chewy texture.

Health notes

Triticale is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. As a whole grain, it is a source of fiber and nutrients. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated grains and their components, generally finding them safe for consumption. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from typical dietary intake of triticale.

Allergen info

Triticale is a hybrid of wheat and rye, and therefore contains gluten. Wheat is one of the 9 FDA major allergens.
