Triticale Berries

Grown in the northwest region of the United States, triticale berries are a unique hybrid of wheat and rye.

Triticale Berries are used for grinding in your home mill or for sprouting. This nutritious, tasty grain is outstanding when cooked until tender, cooled, and added to your favorite yeast bread to add a full- bodied texture and light rye flavor.

Store Triticale in tightly sealed plastic or glass containers in a cool, dry, dark cabinet for up to 6 months.

Cooking Instructions: 1 cup triticale berries, 3 1/4 cups water.

Combine the triticale and 2-1/4 cups of the cold water in a medium-size saucepan. Cover and soak at room temperature overnight.

The next day, add the remaining 1 cup of water to the pot and heat to boiling. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover and cook until tender, 40-50 minutes. Drain the Triticale and set it aside to cool. If possible, let it rest in the refrigerator for a day before using. Triticale may be stored up to 3 days in the refrigerator, in a bowl covered with plastic wrap.

There are approximately 3 3/4 cups per pound.
