What is Triticale?

Triticale is a hybrid cereal grain created by crossing wheat (Triticum) and rye (Secale). It was developed to combine the yield and quality characteristics of wheat with the disease and environmental tolerance of rye. Triticale is used primarily for animal fodder, but it is also found in some baked goods, cereals, and other grain-based foods. It contains gluten, making it unsuitable for individuals with celiac disease or gluten intolerance.

Why People Avoid Triticale

People avoid triticale primarily because it contains gluten. It is a hybrid of wheat and rye, both of which contain gluten proteins that can trigger adverse reactions in individuals with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity. Additionally, those following a wheat-free diet for other health reasons may choose to avoid triticale due to its wheat origin.

Potential Reactions
