What it is

Triticale is a grain that is a hybrid of wheat and rye. It was first bred in the late 19th century and has been developed as a viable crop since the 1960s. It is grown for its grain, which can be milled into flour.

Why it's used

Triticale flour is used similarly to wheat flour in baking. It is often found in breads, cereals, and baked goods like cookies and crackers. Manufacturers use it as a whole grain ingredient to add nutritional value and a distinct flavor.

Health notes

Triticale is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is a good source of fiber, protein, and various micronutrients. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated grains and their components, but specific evaluations for triticale may vary. Evidence suggests whole grains contribute to a healthy diet.

Allergen info

Triticale is a type of wheat and therefore contains gluten. Wheat is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. Individuals with celiac disease or non-celiac gluten sensitivity should avoid triticale.
