Triticale

Potential Food Use: The benefits of growing and using triticale compared to other types of grain depends on the specific variety of triticale, management, and production environment. As flour, flakes,or whole grain, triticale fits well into a wide range of baked goods and other foods. Triticale already is widely grown throughout the U.S. and in many other countries, so its use for food could be ramped up quickly once the varieties that are well suited for specific food uses are identified. Triticale has been described as being ideally suited for organic production. Author: George Fohner
