Triticale and the Gluten Free Diet

Triticale is a cereal grain resulting from the crossbreeding of wheat (Triticum) and rye (Secale). Developed to combine the quality and yield of wheat with the robustness and hardiness of rye, triticale is used in human food products like cereals and in animal feed. Given its parentage, triticale contains gluten, making it unsuitable for those with celiac disease or gluten intolerance.
