Triticale combines the nutritional benefits of both wheat and rye. It has a high protein content, and it also contains a high level of lysine, which is found in rye. There is a greater quantity of folic acid, pantothenic acid, copper, and vitamin B6 in triticale than in wheat, but it has a lesser quantity of niacin than wheat. Triticale is also an important source of iron, thiamin, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, and zinc, and it's rich in fiber. Since triticale is a hybrid of wheat and rye, it contains gluten; therefore, it should not be consumed by gluten intolerant individuals.
