Triticale

• Growing Temperature: 60°F – 75°F
• Days to Maturity: 2–4 days

Unique and versatile: Triticale, a hybrid of wheat and rye, produces nutrient-rich sprouts with a mild, slightly nutty flavor. These sprouts combine the best qualities of their parent grains, offering a unique taste and an excellent source of dietary fiber, protein, and essential vitamins. Perfect for health-conscious eaters, they add texture and nutrition to a variety of meals.

How to Grow: Start by soaking the seeds in water for 8–12 hours to activate germination. Drain and rinse the seeds thoroughly, then spread them evenly in a sprouting jar or tray. Ensure consistent rinsing and draining twice a day to keep the seeds moist without overwatering. Place the sprouting container in a warm area, away from direct sunlight, and watch the sprouts emerge within a few days.

Harvesting: Triticale sprouts are ready to harvest when they reach 1–2 inches in length, typically within 2–4 days. Rinse the sprouts well before eating and enjoy their mild flavor in salads, sandwiches, or stir-fries. These sprouts also make an excellent topping for soups or grain bowls, adding a healthy and flavorful touch.
