Organic whole grain triticale, a hybrid cereal grain resulting from wheat and rye crossing, traces its history to the late 19th century but gained significant progress in the 1950s.  The main purpose behind developing triticale was to combine the desirable characteristics of both wheat and rye, such as the high protein content of wheat and the hardiness and disease resistance of rye.  This versatile grain offers a nutritional profile rich in protein, fiber, vitamins, and minerals.  Its robustness and disease resistance make it adaptable to diverse climates. Whole grain triticale can be used in cereal, porridge or as part of a muesli blend. Triticale’s flour can be used in baking, and it provides a nutty flavor and a chewy texture. It is often used in making bread, biscuits, pastries, and cereals.
