Triticale

This extremely nutritious hybrid of wheat (Triticum) and rye (Secale) contains more protein and less gluten than wheat and has a nutty-sweet flavor. It comes in several forms including whole berry, flakes and flour and can be found in health-food stores. Triticale flour is also available in some supermarkets. Whole Triticale can be cooked and used in a variety of dishes including cereals, casseroles, Pilaf -- style dishes, etc. Because triticale flour is low in gluten, bread made from it alone is quite heavy. For that reason, it's usually combined half-and-half with wheat flour.
