Abstract
The objective of the study is to attract the attention of breeders, agronomists, and food technologists to the newly created species of grain cereal tritordeum. The latter is a hybrid of wild barley (Hordeum chilense Roem. et Schultz.) and durum wheat (Triticum turgidum L. subsp. durum Desf.). A brief review of modern literature presents a comprehensive description of this grain crop and provides the results of an analysis of its chemical composition. Based on the results of studying the physiological, biochemical, and consumer properties of this innovative cereal, its increased ability to adapt to extreme environmental conditions and the possibility of successful use of grain in the food industry, in particular in baking bread and producing pasta, are demonstrated. Morphologically and agr
