Triticale - Never heard of it??? It's a hybrid of wheat and rye.



Triticale (trit-ih-KAY-lee) is an artificial or man-made hybrid of rye and wheat. It is grown mostly for forage or animal feed although some triticale-based foods can be purchased at health food stores or are to be found in some breakfast cereals.

Triticale is standardized under the U.S. Standards for Triticale.


There are a lot more images and interesting agriculture facts & figures on the GIPSA website (see link above).
