Bob's Red Mill Rolled Triticale Hot Cereal
What it is
Rolled triticale hot cereal is a wholesome breakfast grain made from triticale, a hybrid of wheat and rye. The grains are steamed and then rolled flat, creating flakes similar to rolled oats. This process makes them cook quickly and absorb liquid easily, resulting in a tender and satisfying breakfast porridge. It offers a hearty texture and a mild, nutty flavor that makes it a versatile choice for morning meals.
How people cook with it
This cereal is a simple and nourishing way to start your day. It can be prepared on the stovetop or in the microwave.
- Stovetop porridge
- Microwave breakfast
- Added to baked goods
- Topping for yogurt
To prepare on the stovetop, combine one part rolled triticale with two parts water or milk in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 5 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cereal reaches your desired consistency. For microwave preparation, combine the cereal and liquid in a microwave-safe bowl and cook on high for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring halfway through. Adjust liquid for a thinner or thicker porridge. It can also be stirred into muffins or quick breads for added texture.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike steel-cut triticale, which requires longer cooking times due to its less processed form, rolled triticale cooks much faster. It also has a softer texture than whole triticale groats, making it more accessible for a quick breakfast.

How to keep the rest
After opening, store the rolled triticale hot cereal in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. This helps maintain its freshness and prevents it from absorbing odors or moisture. Properly stored, it will remain good for several months.
